You know what was awesome? That first commercial for the multi-coloured iMacs featuring the Rolling Stones’ “She’s A Rainbow”. Actually, it still is awesome.

I was clearly wrong in thinking that Twilight fans confined themselves to LiveJournal, given the popularity of this Twilight WordPress template.
