What hath Twilight wrought?
Cosmetic dentists are reporting that one of the more popular crazes this summer are the installation of fangs on the teeth of teenagers.
"The veneer is designed to give a vampiric appeal, but not provide any sort of function beyond regular eating habits," according to Dr. Dianna Wilde, a cosmetic dentist in Houston. Good to know, although when asked whether a teen could bite someone on the neck, Wilde acknowledged one could, "but it's not recommended."
One dentist reports several calls from teenagers who want their teeth "sharpened."
Meanwhile, an online store is selling a "fill your own blood vial jewelry kit." For $39.95, it also includes 3 inch "coffin" gift boxes to give vials to your friends.

Some people's parents have too much money. I doubt that these kids are paying for this themselves.
Twilight vampires don't have fangs...I don't know what's wrong with all those girls...
What does a brain cost? Getting one of those installed should take precedence over pointy teeth.
