The irresistible draw of poorly written teenage vampire romance dramas

...is-you guessed it: the (attractive) male actors! How is it that this terrible, terrible TV and book series is so addictive? What is it about The Vampire Diaries that makes it so difficult NOT to watch?
Here is a take on the whole thing that I loved (It will make more sense if you actually watch the program).

Personally, I hate that I conform to the pseudo-stereotype of the vampire-obsessed Gen Y teenage girl. I try to reconcile this undesirable character flaw by having some relatively mature interests and tastes--like Dickens. However, this doesn't really help because the BBC always has really attractive men playing characters in their renditions of literary classics (Harry Lloyd in Great Expectations, Matthew McFayden in Little Dorrit...). Do you see a trend here?...I can't take myself too seriously when the main draw of my interest is attractive actors. How pitiful I seem. But then again, I can always watch a bit of TV to cheer myself up. Mmmmm Damon...
