July 23, 2008 (The Business Sheet / Hilary Lewis) -- HBO is trying an unconventional ad campaign to drum up interest for Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball's new vampire series True Blood. Specifically, they're using outdoor ads and vending machines schilling a bottled drink called Tru Blood.

A compilation of actor, writer and director biographies of those involved in vamp books and movies. Continually upadated and expanded.

What do you see, with camera in hand
Each pose of a memory, virtue and sin
Clicking thousands of times
For the one chance gaze of a time yet passed
Brushing golden hair, from star lined eyes
Lulling the beasts to slumber
Rise and fall, such titanic feasts
Soiled hands without the spectrum of light
Have you ever let another, hold the picture of you?
With every shot, each different angle
Not possible to capture such beauty
Crawl or Kneel, touch the lens
Fingers dipping into this soul each night

It feels
Like a part of your soul's
been ripped
from your body
shredded
without a care
and tossed out a ten story window
you feel like you want to explode
like your mind wants to empty
but it can't find a way to vent
and its hard
to sit still
and wait for the moment
when everything
works out right
