Justin Beiber is a vampire....

[darkcrimsongoth]

Me at work, serving a woman and her two little girls. They're buying Halloween stuff.

Me: What are you guys going as for Halloween?
Mum: This one is going as Morticia and the other as Dracula's daughter.
LG 1: Yeah but I'm going as a vampire and that Justin Beiber has bitten me.
Me: ahhh...ok then. Have fun! *awkard moment in my head*

I didn't know Justin was a vampire...Man I'm behind on the times.

...I want to make a sparkle vampire and Justin Beiber joke comment... but my brain just snapped because I never considered the two genre to be similar. (with foaming teenage fangirls.)

I... need to reboot my brain.

Gods, first Twilight and NOW Beiber!? Will Vampires EVER recover from these continued insults!?

Actually, someone found a photo that they claim proves that Nicholas Cage is actually a vampire!

Good question though; can vampires be photographed? Maybe it had something to do with the old-time chemicals used in film?

Wow. That's an extra kind of special right there.

I want to know how that guy explains the footage from Cage's school film project. Or the fact that, well, there is probably medical and photographic evidence of Cage's identity from before he was born until now. You'd think someone with a big secret like that would live out of the spotlight.

There are two theories as to why vampires can't be photographed:

1) Photographs steal a trace amount of our auras. Vampires, being undead, don't have auras or a soul.
2) Older photos used silver compounds, having the combined total of the silver halides since they were compounds of halogens and silver. Silver is said to be a potent poison to the majority of supernatural beings and 'rejects' their image. If this theory is the case, then vampires could have their photo taken these days since digital cameras don't use silver compounds.

Not only can they not be photographed, it can be rather problematic having them take photographs too ...

One of the first Discworld novels I read was titled The Truth (25th novel in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series; yes, I was just a teensy bit behind ...)

It follows the more-or-less accidental invention of the Discworld's first newspaper by the aptly named William de Worde. One of the employees they hire shortly thereafter is Otto, who comes from Uberwald and wants to be the paper's photographer. There's just one problem: Otto is a vampire ... so every time he uses a flash, he disintegrates into a small pile of dust and ashes.

It's most embarrassing.

Depends on which universe you go with

Well, it's generally accepted by those of us post-pubescents that Justin Bieber sucks, so there's one sign right there.

No I meant which vampire universe. Vampire Chronicles, True Blood, Vampire Diaries etc.

Must not forget the Buffyverse. *total Buffy fan*

I would like to advance a third theory. It is a well known theory that vampires do not show in mirrors. If I remember correctly, old cameras used mirrors in their construction. Thus, the vampire would not appear in the photo because they weren't on the mirror.

Of course, mirrors contain a small amount of silver in the coating that makes them reflective. So that would block their image as well.

Inanimate objects don't have auras or souls, so by this theory you wouldn't be able to take a picture of your car.

The only cases I know of where a camera uses mirrors are:
A) Mirror lenses - only found in extremely long focal lengths (over 1000 mm or so)
B) The viewfinders in SLRs, and the waist-level viewfinders in twin-lens reflex cameras and box cameras. By this theory, you'd be able to photograph the vampire (no mirrors in light path to the film), but not see it in the viewfinder.

What you all forget is that much of what we consider vampire lore has been perpetuated by the vampires themselves. The mirror thing is a falsehood so that vampires among the population can "prove" they're normal people. [/White Wolf Games]

P.S.--Can we stake Bieber just to certain? Please?

[Andara Bledin]

I'm pretty sure that real holy water would work just fine.
