Twilight fans gone too far?

Ok, so everyone knows I have read the Twilight books, and yadda yadda yadda, but the thing I don't like, is the fans, and the actors in the movie. After I found out about how INSANE these fans are, I am starting to actually empathize with the poor actors of the movie. Now I know everyone is in Robert Pattinson hysteria but I'm not, and maybe this would have been different if I was in love with him like the other half of the female population. I am starting to feel sorry for him though. So yesterday, I go and get my little Entertainment Weekley from the mailbox and I see this article about vampires in the media and stuff like that, and when I turn the page, I see a picture of Robert being escorted out of a mob of people and this girl is up under him trying to take a picture with him while he is trying to escape. It said that he was filming a scene for a new movie in New York and of course the little fangirls couldn't resist.Now I know that actors have to deal with this all the time but after this morning, I think people need to lay off and realize that actors are actual people too. *CHANGING SUBJECT FOR A SECOND* Just a couple of weeks ago my brother and I were traveling with our mom to Florida. When we were in the LAX airport, we saw this guy who looked like Jason Earles aka Jackson, from Hannah Montana. Turns out it was him. We just walked up like normal people should and asked for a photo for proof and he kindly agreed. I think actors/actresses would be more willing to give autographs, etc. if people weren't trying to mob them.*BACK TO THE ROB PATTINSON/TWILIGHT FANS THING* Now just about 20 minutes ago, I heard on the radio that Robert Pattinson, whilst in New York, was being chased by fans and while he was trying to escape, he got grazed by a taxi. I look it up online to make sure it's legit and its true! This is an example of fans going too far. You shouldn't have to be running for your life and then almost get it taken away by the thing you weren't even running from!! That's terrible!! I also heard a couple of months back in a interview with Robert that fans[stalkers] were sleeping outside of his apartment hoping to get a glimpse of him!! I understand he is a big star and Twilight is a big hit, especially amongst pubescent girls, but seriously people comon! These people are human just like us and deserved to be treated likewise! I found this website[I don't know if it's legit] that talks about all these violent incidents with Twilight fans. Its really anti-Twilight but I'm now anti-Twilight. I'm just not to crazy about the Twilight fans and their behavior, making people think all Twilight fans will be that way.

oh goodness! well im not a robert pattinson fan =P

but the twi-dom thing has gone too far, i agree totally.

what i hate most is that all these people obsess over it even though the BOOKS have been out forever (i know you've read it before i did) and they're all like, "i'm a huge fan!" just because of the movie.
