True Blood: the perfect gift for almost everyone

Loving this ad by HBO promoting True Blood as the perfect gift for the holidays... except maybe for your grandmother.  The video has actually gone viral, with over 900,000 hits on YouTube since it was posted one month ago.  

Why did it go viral?

1) True Blood has a massive fanbase (of fang bangers - including myself)

*True Blood is also wildly adept in social media, with over 340,000 followers on Twitter, 9 million Facebook fans, 81,900 people 'talking about this' and super  timely content, apps and posts.

2) The video itself is facking hilarious! And it does a pretty good job of summing up the show.

HBO also promotes multiple True Blood hash tags under the video, encouraging people to keep sharing and talking about it!

"...Sookie... she's a waitress and a fairy and a mindreader. Some people call her a fang banger but those people are religious freaks... No offence. Her best friend Tara lives with she demon who sometimes makes Tara's eyes go all black, and the whole town has a huge orgy.  Merry Christmas Grandma, I love you so much"
