Now how stupid is this?

[proud2BlibKansan]

CNN just showed Xtians protesting Harry Potter. They are cutting up the books. But wouldn't they have to BUY the books before they cut them up?

I hope JK Rowling is laughing all the way to the bank.

1. Oh, I don't believe it for a minute!

Scholastic hired those people!

I mean, could you imagine better publicity?


I write books, and damn, I'd KILL to have someone make a big deal and burn them....

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Maybe you are right

but it was on CNN and we all know they are reliable :sarcasm:

2. You mean they're not throwing them into piles and burning them?

But..but....I thought thats what Nazis do:D

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. tsk tsk now

We aren't supposed to be comparing them to Nazis.

10. Would goat-fuckers be more appropriate?

Perhaps Nazi was a bit too harsh, but instead of focusing their efforts on more important issues, they instead attack children's books:D

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Yes goat fuckers

is lots better LOL :rofl: And the mental picture is priceless.

12. You have to get a burn permit for that

When I was a kid, the fundie church my fundie parents loved decided that they were going to get all of the secular music owned by the young people and burn it. City wouldn't give them a permit. I can't imagine why the city wouldn't let them burn PLASTIC cassette tapes, can you?

13. Hmmmmm....well, I guess I agree with you there

:nuke:

[caty]

3. They just make themselves look

ridiculous.:crazy:

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Yes they do n/t

4. Is it midnight on the East Coast? If not, someone is in REAL trouble.

The publisher means business, big time.

I'm in the book biz, and the pub made reatilers and libraries jump through hoops on this book!

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. It's after midnight in the UK n/t

[blondeatlast]

9. Sorry, I should have realized that.

That's the way to stop Rowling--buy her books!

It's probably for the best that they have no logic, their heads would explode.
