Just an FYI, he stole that quote from elsewhere. It's not an original. Just thought you might want to take that into consideration in the process of your five hundred trillion upvote clicks.

It's definitely a great analogy, just wanted to point out that some of the epic-ness of an "epic post" wears off if its actually just a quote from an unidentified source. +1 for sure but before anybody develops carpol tunnel from upvoting trillions of times I just wanted to make sure we're all aware of the facts.

I believe I first saw it on a Bill Simmons soccer article a few days ago, but I'm not even sure it was originally from there either. If you google Soccer is like Twilight you get about a billion page links of "tweets" and "retweets" of that quote so it's going to be difficult to figure out the source.

EDIT: Oh by the way just to clarify that I'm not bitter about you using the quote, I'm not the one negging everybody in this thread. Seems to be mds315 negging everybody in virtually every thread today for some reason.

I kinda figured most people had seen that quote by now (it's been making the rounds on the interwebs)... so for the same reason I wouldn't necessarily quote "Space, bitches. Space" or "We landed on the moon," I didn't quote this one.  Didn't mean to start a citation war.  Forgiveness please.

why a man went and watched Twilight alone.

Because he was gay.

So what about men that like Twilight?
If you're male and you like Twilight, you're gay. I don't mean that in the derogatory sense, I mean it in the "you want to put your testicles against another man's testicles while gripping handfuls of chesthair" kind of way.

If I were to decide to tempt fate and go watch Twilight, and I could not get any females to accompany me, I don't think I would be inviting any guy friends, buddies, bros, or pals to go with me.  I'd be decked out in aviators and a fake moustache...

(if that's really what Twilight is), the real thing: (Full movie uninterrupted here.) ("Downfall" fans will recognize the name "Bruno Ganz")
