in Twilight

200904091434.jpgYou know that story we had the other day about the weird UK promotion, where people would be walking the streets of the UK with “Twilight DVD” contact lenses in? Turns out, the people wearing the contacts are all dressed just like Edward as well! Check out this video to see the makeover process!

  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    LMAO... haha that is just... HAHA... omg the things they come up w/ lol!!
  • Dalaney
    uhhh they were actually pretty ugly i think.
    Robert is a waaayyyy better Edward in my opinion :)
  • hisgoldeneyes
    ok that was just a bit creepy but it's a pretty cool idea i like it!
  • Alexis
    Oh i wish i would have been there!
    gosh those lucky girls getting bitten
    think about it, its like all us Team Edwards dreams
    but just not with edward. lol The guys arent that bad
    but they dont look alike at all.
    lol i wish the did this in australia.
  • rosie*loves*carlisle
    I actually met one of these up in london, and rather embarrassed myself. Despite the fact that i am madly obbsessive, it took me about five minutes to read what it said on his contacts, i was like "tweeliged...twielohged...oh Twilight!"
  • Bella
    LOL.
    I think it's hilarious.

    And they're all quite good looking, but I wish they picked the models about the same height. That would make it a bit better.

    *drool* haha
  • Yris
    lmao thats soo cool and wierd at the same time :D
  • ForeverDazzled
    As a british fan yeah its kinda embassing *sigh* ^^'''
    but...then would think better of it, if the contacts where not so retard, by not having "twilight" written on them. Cause thats just plain weird, stupid and creepy....¬¬
    And i don't really wanna be bitten by one of them even more creepy...¬¬
    But dont really mind the idea of them "trying" (highlight trying) to be Edward XDD
    I find it hilraouis XDD
    "Image yourself trying to buy twilight and some random guy is wispering to you Edward lines XDDD i wouldnt be able to stop laughing
  • Alexis
    Yeh it would be prety funny,
    but kinda aawsome all at once.
    lol dont you kinda wish a british vampire would be wispering edwardlines to you.
    oh i would just giggle and yell bite me!
    lol tehe.
  • bina209
    this jus seems so odd LOL
  • bina
    OMgosh! i dont know why but this vid had me cracking up thank God i didnt watch it at work LOL, it was priceless :')
  • emma
    OMG *tears in eyes* I'm seriously laughing so hard right now the British are Weird in a Not cool way. LOL sorry this is just bizzar
  • MsOrange78
    is it just me, or when the "Edwards" tried to give the serious look when posing for pictures.... looked a bit constipated??
  • ummm coolio but still really creepy sorry
  • Leanneduh
    haha its shocking...
    US get DVD release parties...
    and us in the UK get freaky looking blokes doing bad Edward Cullen impersonations...
    says it all really doesn't it?!
    its all a bit shocking really isn't it...?
    :|
  • lilrister
    Okay super creepy, super weird abd could not stop cracking up i mean are these people serious in my opinion it was just down right silly what on earth are these people thinking if someone came up to me dressed as edward I would be totally creeped out, wait back up lol any one but Rob Pattinson dressed as edward, I would probably start cracking up right there look at them and then walk away so totally weird
  • lovesit
    are you sure this wasn't just an april fools joke that was released a bit too late? seriously, i live in london and haven't seen any of these people!!!! also the bite mark thing on the dvds didn't happen either... i don't really think any marketing person would be stupid enough to genuinely believe that this would be a good way to sell dvds!!!
  • KINALuvzWolves
    They look like they've been smoking crack. I wouldn't let them near me if I had no idea who Edward Cullen was. Scratch that. I still wouldn't let them near me.
  • Katie87
    I dont know but I like it! HA! If i could get an edward clones heck y not right?!
  • yvette
    ashamed!?
    you should be happy! or even thankful!
    you just get some kind of .. promotion or.. at least something!
    we don't get anything!
    it's allllways the US.. or the UK..
    =\
  • RustyHalo
    Well, I think it's actually kinda cool. I'm sure they had great fun so I don't see any harm in it and I think it would make an AWESOME halloween costume!
    Also, whenever a new Disney movie comes out they have the characters showing up everywhere and I'd love to see Edward lookalikes walking around other than say: Cinderella, Snow White and her seven lil dwarfs, Woody, Hannah Montana, etc...
  • january
    ok one they dont look at all like our dear Edward and two how creppy would it be to be standing on the street and have a Twanabe come up to you and try to bite you on the neck!
  • Sorry, but NONE of them men even kinda looked like Robert Pattinson.
    ha! :D
  • Sophy
    Oh God... People do things like that and then wonder why people think we Brits are weird!

    That's a cool-ish idea, but seriously embarrassing. Why oh why is it just this country that has the stupid marketing ploys for this DVD? *Slams head on desk*

    Urgh. I wouldn't mind so much if they actually looked like Edward/Rob... But they don't, and the contacts are seriously creepy.

    I assure you that most of us aren't as weird as that! It's just the minority of the population, honestly!
  • jas
    oh sweet jesus. this is so funny! I am acutally embarressed to be British... but part of me wishes I lived in London just to see them walking around like ponces...

    but still i suppose part of me thinks it's cool, the idea of 'edward' walking promoting it.... and the contacts would be cool without the bloody words. i mean WHO THE HELL LOOKS TO SEE THE BLOODY WORDS?! all they're doing is blinding their models!
  • Hanna
    The person in Summit's marketing dept that came up with that needs to be fired.
  • My only question....how in the hell do they even walk? Wouldn't the Twilight DVD words bleep out half of their vision? Well they would have Bella's clumbsiness down I suppose.
  • KINALuvzWolves
    no no no you only see out of the black part of your eye (uh I'm not an optometrist, I don't know the technical word for it LOL). The "Twilight" wouldn't interfere with their vision, the same way the yellow tint doesn't make them see yellow.
  • The iris I think. Jeez that's like basic anatomy good lord my brain needs a vacation.
  • Brittney
    pupils...the iris works like a condenser on a microscope to narrow or widen to allow for light to enter through the pupil...i know, i'm a nerd.
  • Thank you! lol good lord I need to go back to anatomy. Long day...is it the weekend yet? I'll go and hide my head in shame now.
  • 30yearoldtwifan
    Hmmm I didnt think about that!! Thats a good question! :-)
  • theyre cute. :D
  • jillian
    thank you for my dose of extra freaky today
  • lol very funny but i must agree very creep-tacular right ha ha
  • mickey_lamb
    cool!
  • mickey_lamb
    but strange...
  • TwilightFan
    LMAO!!
  • This is ridiculous. It's pretty cool.. but a little over the top.
  • Rachaael
    haha, they walk like complete idiots because they think they're "hunky".... and they're not very. I'm embarresed for my country :L!

    On a brighter the note, the contacts are cool. Well the colour is anyway.
  • creepy...
  • Maryann Bjordal
    It's both creepy and funny at the same time. I think it is creative for sure hehe. Bit of good 'ol fun hehe. These guys probably had fun being "Edward" for that day lol
  • laura
    haha,, sounds cool!
  • 30yearoldtwifan
    Those sexy British men can come bite my neck any time! lol
  • IndiesR
    Hell yes! LOL
  • 30yearoldtwifan
    I have a thing for men with british accents lol
  • IndiesR
    Me too, I cant help myself, when they speak, I litterally melt...I think I need therapy. LOL
  • i love rob
    I just really want one British man......Rob! And he can bite me, lick me....whatever he wants to do to me!!!! Phew.....I'm having a moment!
  • 30yearoldtwifan
    Of course Rob will always be my #1 Brit! :-)
  • yes rob is most deff the number 1 brit lol :)
  • i love rob
    Absolutely!!!!
  • IndiesR
    Definately, Rob is #1. He literally stole my heart, and I dont want it back, its his to keep for life. :)
  • IndiesR
    Actually there are a couple British men that I would not object to bitting me, but Rob is number 1 on the list, he's always my number 1 in everything. LOL
  • i love rob
    He is and always will be #1!!!! But, you are correct....there are a couple of other Brits that I wouldn't object to....Orlando Bloom, Ben Barnes, etc.....
  • IndiesR
    One of my other favorites, including the ones you mentioned is Collin Firt! *swoon* Oh man!
  • i love rob
    Didn't he just film 2 movies with Ben Barnes???? The one with Jessica Biel and I think they've either just finished or are currently working on one together....can't remember the name......give me a sec....Dorian Grey, I think....
  • Daniela23
    Bwahahahaha....at first I thought WTF, but now I kinda think it is an original idea. I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but I kinda like it and It sure is funny...

    I bet those guys used the opportunity to hit on the girls haha
  • beeee2222
    I know right. I thought at first, wow that creepy.. But actually seeing it, its not so bad. I liked it too and it still made me laugh.
  • Daniela23
    When you think about it they are living, breathing, walking comercials!
    I sure hope they were payed well for doing this...at least we had a good laugh xD
  • IndiesR
    Do they also sparkle in the daytime? Because they are not a vampire until they can sparkle in the sunlight, just wearing the contacts wont do it, they need the Edward body shimmer form Hot Topic. LMAO
  • i love rob
    LMAO!!!! What a vision!!!
  • IndiesR
    I know, right! LMAO at all this, its just too funny.
  • beeee2222
    Its not that bad of an idea. Minus the writting on the contacts. But it still makes me laugh.
  • AQUA
    LIKE I SAID CREEPY!!!
  • 2ylite
    weird... O_o
  • lovetwilightsaga
    weird and bizarre
  • Jbells
    Hahaha..thats so aweosme..I wish I lived in the Uk!!! Lol..People are so boring aorund here..And uh hey..Can i get me some of those??? lol..
  • beeee2222
    Haha.. thats really funny..
  • OH MY GAWD IM SO ASHAMED TO LIVE HERE!
  • KINALuvzWolves
    LOL don't worry :) We don't think any less of you.
  • Chris10
    Indies is right. We have plenty to be ashamed of. Um hi I live in Louisiana... Britney Spears much?
  • If I had the gonades to shave my head I would, think off the money you'd save on shampoo and conditioner, and you wouldn't wake up with bed-head every morning LMAO...

    Technically I don't live in England, I live in Northern Ireland, although we are classed as British, so I never have to run into those idiots, but still the marketing people need sacked, or the heads flushed down a toilet so wash they're brains out to help them come up with something better LMAO
  • Chris10
    I say that all the time! How easy would it be to have NO hair to deal with?? And not just shampoo and conditioner. Straight irons, curling irons and all those products add up! But I'm apparently down with the hassle because my hair is quite long. I would chop it but I just don't look right with short hair. I still might chop it one day and donate to Locks for Love. I'm rambling.

    Yes I remember you saying you were in Belfast. My friend went to Limerick and Dublin on her honeymoon.
  • Wow Limerick is beautiful! Dublin is a crazy city, it's all go, I went to a concert there once and drove down and it was like wacky races! they don't understand what traffic lights are Lol. It's only a hundred miles from Belfast but it's like a whole other world, to me anyway LOL
  • i love rob
    Don't be ashamed to live there!!! There are wierdos everywhere. But I have to tell you....it's a bit creepy!

    LMAO!
  • IndiesR
    LMAO...we all got things/ people we are ashamed of.
  • Mrs. Renesmee Black
    ROFLMAO!
  • God if they came anywhere near me I think I would have to poke em right in the eyeball to remove those ridiculous things, they where pretending to bite a bunch off kids necks! Oh where is my wet dish rag....LMAO
  • HeatherEl
    I just texted my sis asking if she saw any of them..she was out and about in London today! But I think England is trying to be ~different and it's not working. We are just coming across as sad :(

    Please, understand that not everyone in the UK is like that...please

    and also what do you mean about 'people we are ashamed of'...i mean i realise SOME people are to be ashamed of, but Rob is British right!
  • I said I was ashamed to live here, not ashamed off people Lol. Yes Rob is British, I'm proud to be British. I just think that the marketing people need a kick up the butt, to realise that they're ideas stink. When you see the way the American release off the DVD went with parties and stuff, and we get Edward Clones with stupid contacts...thats what I'm ashamed off.
  • HeatherEl
    No, i know YOU didnt say it, IndiesR did so i just wanted to make sure she was thinking right!

    And i dont think the marketing people need a kick in the butt...they just need to be sacked!!! ASAP!!!
  • Chris10
    LMAO!!! Dish rag hahahahahaha!!
  • IndiesR
    ROFLMAO...you're hilarious. :)
  • bob
    Cause we are cool
