Crop Circles, Vibrators Among Weird Twilight Products

Editorial

This just in: the horsemen of the apocalypse have been replaced by Twilight merchandise. Yes, the level of obsession from Twilight fans (scientific name: Twihards) is now threatening to surpass that of all other franchises thanks to a variety of products that raise the `ick' factor to an all time high.

The first of which is an Edward Cullen shower curtain, created by online retailer Etsy. What a great idea; seriously, who hasn't wanted to have a shower while a teen vamp scowls at you from just inches away? Well, us, for starters. There's also Edward Cullen wallpaper for your home, an Edward and Bella hipflask, Twilight bandaids, Lip Venom, Edward Cullen body glitter, pillow covers and even, shudder, a Twilight vibrator.

Yup, the cold sparkle Vamp dildo from Tantus crosses more lines than we dare count. Lets just hope there's not a werewolf range. But perhaps the most disturbing is the number of female hygiene products emblazoned with Twilight logos and a brooding Edward Cullen. That is, until we discovered this; Jacob Black and Edward Cullen portraits created in a corn crop. A FREAKIN CORN CROP PEOPLE!

The minds at Utah's largest corn maze decided this year their theme would be the popular Twilight sequel, New Moon. Therefore it was only logical that a 24-acre portrait of Team Jacob and Team Edward were cut in to the field along with the lettering `New Moon 11-20-09', the American release date of the film.

GPS technology was used to cut the intricate patterns into the corn, but we can't help thinking it might have been cheaper to hire a bunch of Twihards to sculpt the field. There's no doubt they would know they exact face dimensions of their favourite characters off by heart.
