Twilight - a young 100 year old dates a 17 year old

I watched the movie Twilight on Showtime last night. But this is not my lame review of the flick (however, I did enjoy it, more or less). My question is about Bella (Kristin Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson). In the movie (and the book) she is supposed to be 17 and Edward is supposed to have the body of a 17 year old but in fact be about 100 years old. Now if a 17 year old girl were to date say a 40 year old man, never mind a centigenarian, people would go crazy. He'd be strung up by his soft parts. So what's up with Edward the vampire? Is it that if an older man could walk into a Youthinator machine, like a star-belly Sneetch, and come out the other end young, if that were possible, then society would be all right with the whole thing? Is society saying it's all only skin deep? I didn't think so. I thought it was creepy and abusive and generally considered a moral outrage. So why no eyebrows raised over Edward the vampire and his worldly wise 100 year old mind and soul? And, as if that weren't enough, how is it that he acts 17ish? He's 100 years old for the love of monkeys! In all the vampire movies and shows I've seen the vampire dude who's been around forever is always very sophisticated. This Edward guy must be stuck in some kind of Groundhog Day thing but in reverse. He remembers everything, all 100 years, but his mind never matures. Is that what they're trying to sell us? I know some 40 year olds who act like they're 20. Does that mean if they only looked 17 all would be forgiven? Oh I'm so disappointed - the hypocrisy, the deceit, the shallowness, the general lack of moral policing. What's this world coming to?
