Nothing is Sacred Anymore

jenny_wildcatI just ran across an appalling piece of information on LeakyNews.com (my favorite site for Harry Potter news). Here's the entry: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#article:8392 (with a link to the article) Melissa Anelli, the Big Cheese of TLC, has requested that the comments be kept clean and civil, which means I had to relegate my commmentary to LiveJournal.
Now, this is the work of a college columnist, which group I count myself a part of, and I must say, this was one poorly written piece of crap. Besides being a dark satire ("dark" being an undestatement), this talking ape with a computer has no idea what he has done by publishing this. It goes beyond the limits of journalistic propriety and is just someting liberal weenies write because they are running out of creative ways to protest government (weed, Woodstock and free love is, like, soooo 60s). College liberals are worse because it's easy to be a democrat with no morals and a college student. There's no set of checks and balances to speak of and they get to do what they want. College conservatives, on the other hand, are kept on a short leash (this I know all too well). He's getting a pass to publish such crap because it demeans America and everything America stands for. Such commentary is always welcome on a college campus because it "sticks it to the Man!" (Wait until we all find out that the "Man" is a porcupine).
This is terribly disturbing, not only because I was disturbed by the -- actions -- he purports that Ron and Hermione will take in the seventh book, but because he suggests that terrorists capture JK Rowling and do what they do best. I say that Mr. Lin volunteer for the position he suggests JK Rowling takes and see how much he's laughing then. I have no patience with such stupidity and ignorance. Why can't we get all these dink heads and lock them in a steel room with copies of thier favorites "1984" and "The Communist Manifesto" and they can really talk politics where the rest of us don't have to listen to them.
I could write him and his editor a letter, but that would further fuel his overbloated ego and I really don't want to get in a debate with a bunch of monkeys. Free speech is free speech until you say something that Hillary Clinton doesn't like. Then it's a blantant attack on character and you owe someone an apology.
Viva Hypocrisy! Without it, the media would cease to exist.
