I came across this item quite by accident, and thought it a little funny that it was seen by some as the truth. Hmmm.... whatever happened to "don't believe everything you read?"

Nothing like barking up the wrong tree to really make your day, y'know?

"When Jude got that vanity license plate that said ‘Hogwarts,' that seemed harmless enough," said Polly Clovis, who attended Model U.N. with Mr. Ralston while the two were in high school. "But when he started wearing that wizard hat around town, we really should have seen that as a cry for help."

Ms. Clovis said that she hoped Mr. Ralston's death would cause federal authorities to tighten the flow of Harry Potter plot information to prevent similar tragedies from taking place.

"In my heart I believe that could have saved Jude's life, even if he didn't have one," she said.


Hee hee. :D The entire article was so funny. You could tell it was satire, it was just too funny to be geniune. I really hope people didn't take it seriously though. :rolleyes:

This one is from the Onion, it's got the religious debate in it.

Hehehe.... Gotta love the Onion.

Unfortunately, I know a whole lot of people who would take this article as the (punlike object intended, forgive me) gospel truth.

..a kid reading THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES????? Now that's just over the top unforgivable evil and stuff.

:eek:

okay then, lol,

I know its not the truth, but why would somebody even joke about that? I mean would anybody really do that? I'm pretty sure that nobody would, of course there are some weird fanatics in this world, one may never know. :rolleyes:

LMAO I would never believe someone would ever think of taking there own life- over a harry potter book. Even though I found out what happened in the HBP before I read it, i was upset- but never to that point. I just love talking about whats going to happen in the last book, JKR has surprises up her sleeve... we will all be surprised.
