Research article on Tru Blood
About 99% of what’s in this article is beyond my ken, but an anonymous researcher emailed this to us and asked if we’d be interested in publishing it. This is a scientific analysis of Tru Blood.
In the pursuit of understanding between human and vampire, I have devoted all of my spare waking hours to completing a preliminary analysis of the four proprietary formulas in the “TruBlood” product line. Using the resources available to me through my laboratory position, I feel I am getting close to understanding the biological needs of the Vampire. I am apprehensive about the possibility that my investigations will be misinterpreted by individuals or institutions as being of ill intent. I want to assure everyone that my research is intended for the betterment of all. I regret that I must take steps to protect my employment status and personal well being by posting this information anonymously via open forum, and so will be unable to communicate directly fellow researchers. In looking for alternatives to academic publication, I quickly realized that Bloodcopy could be a more direct route to the intended audience of this material. It is my hope that this summary will spark discussion, or at least that the diverse readership of Bloodcopy will find this topic of immediate relevance. Thank you for your audience…

At least someone has made an effort to find out what’s inside of it. I don’t trust it either, but what can we do?

omg u people are so fixated on this… its just a viral campaign this aint real…
HBO’s inventive campaign to drum up interest for True Blood, the vampire series from Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball that debuts Sept. 7, may be a little too high concept for the average mortal. Outdoor ads and vending machines that tout a bottled drink called Tru Blood have driven consumers to the network website, where they’ve futilely tried to buy the product or locate a dealer. What they end up discovering is that the beverage — which is supposed to be synthetic blood — only exists in the drama, which stars Anna Paquin and is based on the Sookie Stackhouse book series by Charlaine Harris. “We didn’t mean to dupe people,” says Zach Enterlin, HBO’s VP of advertising and promotions. The ads also include small print that encourages vampires to “drink responsibly” and to visit trubeverage.com. “We just wanted a campaign that breaks through and resonates a little bit. It’s a testament to how true to form the ads are. Some people aren’t paying close attention.”
