Especially the 'Freedom of Religion' bit :-\ufffd The authorities say they can't do anything about the vampires without hard evidence and Colombia's freedom of religion laws mean the police can't stop and search people just because they are dressed like vampires. Migawd they ARE copying US! Soon they will have people killed for The Right to Life and others slain for Opposing the Death Penalty and.. and.. The Whole World will be Just One Disneyland-USA Asylum !!! Peace.. through Homogenization.. At Last!

Jacques Servan, 1767

It could have been made by the people who did Underdog or Rock n Bullwinkle, the comedy was so wicked and rapid fire. There were three enclaves of vampires - the old world ones headquartered in Dusseldorf, the new world ones that looked like mobsters from Chicago, and this cast off scientist vampire who moved to Habana to research a serum that would allow vampires to go out in broad daylight. He perfected the serum on his nephew, a jazz trumpet player beach bum gigolo with a gang of small time hoods as who had no idea he was a vampire. The film turned into a pretty funny hunt with the different factions falling all over themselves trying to get the serum. Anyhow, vampires appear to be a popular theme in latin america. The average hunter gatherer works 20 hours a week. The average farmer works 40 hours a week. The average programmer works 60 hours a week. What the hell are we thinking?
