KNOXVILLE — We compare two pop-culture subjects to see which you like better. To be included in next week's tally, vote for your favorite before noon Monday. This week's match:
WITCHES vs. VAMPIRES
Kids these days! Back when, we used to dress as witches and vampires for Halloween. Nowadays, kids want to be Snooki from "Jersey Shore" or Lady Gaga. They don't know what they're missing. Attention, today's youth: You must pick between the old-school Halloween favorites - and like it.
WHO REPRESENTS
Witch: Samantha Stephens, that hag with the bobby pins that fly off her head as she darts away on a broomstick (a Bugs Bunny reference; Google it) and Christine O'Donnell (the politician who isn't a witch, after all)
Vampires: Robert Pattinson, Barnabas Collins and Bill and Eric from "True Blood"
DISADVANTAGES
Witch: The mean girls at school like to bully you by rhyming "witch" with an unkind expression, dampening your hopes of ever being homecoming queen.
Vampires: You can stay out all night, but your friends have curfews.
ADVANTAGES
Witch: You can wiggle your nose and turn those mean girls at school into tissue paper and then use them to blow your nose.
Vampires: You get to make out a lot.
WHY THEY WOULD MAKE GOOD POLITICIANS
Witch: Like a politician, witches can say the right words and make you think anything is possible when it's really all smoke and mirrors.
Vampires: They can suck the life out of anything if they hang around long enough.
LAST WEEK: Lady Gaga vs. Snooki
Our pick: Lady Gaga. She's lame, but she would make for a fetching Halloween costume.
Your pick: Lady Gaga won, unanimously.
