Grave digger was the new gold-digger (circa 1996)

Hi Z-don,

Thanks to HULU, someone I know was telling me about a television program from the mid 1990's that they were watching, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This show was a spin off from the phenomenal movie produced in 1992 with the same name. So in the TV show Buffy (the vampire slayer) falls in love and species starts dating a vampire by the name of Angel. But there is something seriously wrong with this. Now don't get me wrong, I am very much in support of interracial dating and consensual dating of the dead. I believe that if people are in love racial stereotypes or even being living or not should be a factor. Especially given the evidence of Zombie conversion in that Science paper by Murty & Hakimi (2010).

But do you know what I do think is horrible, statutory rape. In the show, Buffy is 16 and Angel is over 250 years old. That is really inappropriate of him to take advantage of her like that. Just to give you an idea of how different things are that are 250 years apart, see the pictures below for three examples. The pictures on the right are from current times, and to the left are the same type of thing 250 years old.

Also, recent evidence for Experimental Psychopathology has linked many psychiatric disorders with semen that is decrepit and/or damaged. I am pretty sure that if it 250 years old and from a dead body it cannot be in that good of conditions. It seems like their relationship is quite irresponsible. Frankly, I expected more from a television network that has such wholesome programming like 7th heaven.

Sincerely,
D-rex
