We need the National Lampoon to come to our rescue. In my late teens, I discovered J.R.R.Tolkien, and started to get obsessed by the mythology. The Lampoon came to my rescue - in their version of "Lord of the Rings," Gandolf was Goodgulf, Frodo was Frito, and Bilbo was Dildo. It saved me - I could never take ole' JRR seriously again. I didn't even watch those tedious movies made some 10 years ago.
So Lampoon - where are you when we need you? This Vampires vs. Werewolves thing is ripe for ridicule. Your 7/8/2010 short was a good start, but a full-blown book like "Bored of the Rings" is called for.
