The CW has just released a new promo trailer for its runaway hit series “The Vampire Diaries.” The clip showcases pretty-boy Ian Somerhalder as wicked bloodsucker Damon Salvatore, highlighting some of his more vicious kills and his now classic Twilight rip, “What’s so special about this Bella girl? Edward’s so whipped.”

Go on and look. You know you want to:

Up until now, despite the fact that I’m a huge fan of series creator and writer Kevin Williamson (Scream, “Dawson’s Creek”), I have dismissed “The Vampire Diaries” as “Supernatural”-like masturbation fodder for horny tween girls and their fake-tanned, Seven-for-Mankind-wearing single moms (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

However, I gotta admit that this promo looks so fucking cool that it’s making me think I should just put on some panties and start watching the show every Thursday night with my neighbor’s 12-year-old daughters.

“The Vampire Diaries” costars Nina Dobrev and some other guy who isn’t Ian Somerhalder. The series returns for its second season on Sept. 9.
