Vampire Phenomena Link to Recession

With the global economic crisis still on the surge and while some are sweating themselves to find ways to end it sooner, most of us are more likely engaging and conditioning ourselves to avoid the backdrops of reality. This is what we call escapism. Yes, we are guilty of it. But we can't blame ourselves for trying to divert our grasp on reality and focus our attention to something entertaining -- even if it's just for a while -- like our beloved series, True Blood. Sam Trammell, for one, believes that the reason behind our thirst for vampire stories is the outcome of the current economic crisis. On his recent interview, Sam said,

"With the global recession, people have been wanting to escape and go to a place where imagination goes. That's kind of sexy, seeing creatures living with normal beings."

Maybe what Sam said is right. Life in the 21st century has been difficult with problems arising like crime, terrorist threats, global warming, unemployment, over population, etc. Who wouldn't want to escape such atrocity? Indeed, the vampire phenomenon offers us not only an insight to a world of superficial things but an idea of what we are currently facing. Surely, the mysterious dark world of the vampires can be drastically compared to what every nation is facing at this moment -- the darkest economic stagnation. But so long as we are facing these difficulties, we will inevitably cling on to escapism. Source: www.mb.com.ph (Photo Credit: hbotrueblood.info)
