		<description><![CDATA[Searching for ridiculous aspects of 'True Blood' is tantamount to searching for a needle in a stack of needles. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s difficult to pare this list down to only five entries. Honestly, a less daunting piece would be a list of things that aren’t ridiculous about <em><a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/tv/genres-tv/sitcoms/true-blood-episodes/" target="_blank">True Blood</a></em>, but I’m not even sure I could find five. Sam the bar owner is probably the least ridiculous thing about the show, and he morphs into a dog and has a long lost-brother. Last night’s season finale didn’t do much to tone the show down, but after four seasons, it’s pretty clear that the <em>True Blood</em> team isn’t in the business of toning shit down. Quite the opposite, rather.</p>
<p>With both types of lists difficult for different reasons, let’s search through the piles of examples that <a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/tv/tv-lists/7-reasons-i-stopped-watching-entourage-years-ago/" target="_blank">HBO’s</a> sexy-vampire show gives us and try to find the 5 most ridiculous aspects of this shirtless train wreck that many can’t seem to turn away from.</p>
<h4>5. The Accents</h4>
<p><a href="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Screen-shot-2011-09-12-at-12.44.14-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-228009" title="Screen shot 2011-09-12 at 12.44.14 PM" src="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Screen-shot-2011-09-12-at-12.44.14-PM.png" alt='' width="472" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>Considering the show is set in Bon Temps, Louisiana, you would expect some pretty thick Cajun or bayou accents. However, only about 15% of the characters have a southern accent. And the ones that ARE attempted are pretty far from passable. Sookie, played by <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/oscar/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>Oscar</a> winner <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/anna-paquin-358/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>Anna Paquin</a> has a godawful accent, but she takes her shirt off frequently, so we tend to turn a blind eye.</p>
<p>However, other characters seem to speak as though they are from Omaha. When driving through rural Louisiana, you will come to one realization: nobody speaks like a normal human being. The accents are so thick it’s difficult to discern what is being said. However, the <em>True Blood</em> cast speaks as though they are delivering a commencement address at Vasser. Yes. Vasser.</p>
<p>Granted, it would be more difficult to endear the audience to a group of sexy townsfolk who all speak like they have mouths full of marbles, but the path the producers and actors took make it almost as difficult to suspend disbelief.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[ Have you ever wondered what it&#039;d be like if a major rap star decided to make a song about an HBO show and then posted the video on the internet? Well wonder no more friend, cause Snoop Dogg has got you covered. The legendary rapper&#039;s new music video, &#34;Oh Sookie,&#34; has hit the interwebs. Set in Bon Temps, the song features characters from HBO&#039;s hit show, &#34;True Blood,&#34; including everyone&#039;s favorite &#34;Fang Banger,&#34; Sookie Stackhouse. While making a video based on a TV show might not be considered &#34;gangsta,&#34; at least Snoop isn&#039;t stooping to Ice Cube-levels with a crappy sitcom on TBS (Very Funny...but not &#34;Ha Ha funny...funny sad). Watch Snoop Dogg perform &#34;Oh Sookie&#34; after the jump.
