While blood is certainly a vampire's food product of choice, who's to say that these mysterious creatures of the night don't need a caffeine jolt every now and again? In fact, the marketing team behind the upcoming third season of "True Blood" wants you to know that even a bloodsucker can enjoy a good cup of joe once in a while.
HBO has released a new poster to promote "True Blood," which begins airing its third season on June 13th. It's a simple, direct but nonetheless completely jarring image — a coffeemaker brewing a big hot pot of blood.

Does this coffeemaker signal that vampires are continuing to integrate themselves into the mainstream? Are they positioning themselves for a place in society where they can dominate mankind? Is this simply the first in a series of posters of mundane, everyday life occurrences put through a vampire lens?

If nothing else, a pot of caffeinated blood is certainly an upgrade from the lukewarm Tru Blood drinks offered at Merlotte's in Bon Temps. Not saying that I would order one myself, but — OK, maybe just a sip.
