Serbian vampire hunters have acted to prevent the very remote possibility that former dictator Slobodan Milosevic might stage a come-back - by driving a three-foot stake through his heart.

According to Ananova, the politically-motivated Van Helsings, led by Miroslav Milosevic (no relation), gave themselves up to cops after attacking the deceased despot in his grave in the eastern town of Pozarevac. Milosevic popped his clogs back in 2006, while on trial in a UN war crimes tribunal for various unsavoury activities connected with the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia.

Miroslav Milosevic said "he and his fellow vampire hunters acted to stop the former dictator returning from the dead to haunt the country". His team explained that the wooden stake had been "driven into the ground and through the late president's heart".

Slobodan Milosevic's Socialist Party of Serbia naturally condemned the desecration, while his daughter-in-law Milica Gajic said she "planned to sue the vampire hunters and accused the police of failing to protect the grave properly".

Thank goodness, I'd hate to think of the peril the world would be in if they didn't do this.

But what I want to know is, vampire hunters are real?

Well there are people who believe in vampires and want to take steps to prevent their suckling on necks, yes.

A friend of mine said if you stake someone through the chest and they don't get up, they were probably a vampire. Always good to be extra cautious, I guess.

A sub-culture of people do exist who take this all very seriously. Fake tooth implants, etc etc.

If they're stupid enough to become vampires rather than buying a good pair of ass-hugging denims from GAP, so be it.

I'm going to send a shitload of goth kids to Serbia.

 

[Necromunchkin]

I despie GAP. But I also despise faux "Vampyre" lifestyle.

 

[Metal head87]

I like the GAP, but I also despise those vampire kids. Anyone who would file their teeth to look like fangs should be shot.
They're as bad as the snake kids that have their tongues split through the middle.
