Harry Potter and a toilet guide to Cuba

[martinemonster]

I'm nearly done tagging my old lj posts, and I came over this post here that you guys have to read: A complete toilet guide to Cuba I think it's funny!

On a different note, I just read a disturbing piece of news:

"The truth is that it would be very hard to recast, because Daniel is so famous in the role and is adored by the fans. But if his new image is seen to be at odds with the franchise, then the whole issue would have to be looked at...I guess we always knew that Harry and Daniel would have to grow up, but we hadn't bargained on full-frontal sex scenes. Nor, one imagines, had the star's millions of young fans."

cut from this Daily mail article.

I can't believe they're even considering replacing him in the last two movies. That would be sucky! Just because he's decided to play naked in one movie and a play this year. I mean, come on, it's not like it'd destroy the "Harry Potter" character that Daniel Radcliffe is all butch and manly. He can still pull off "Just Harry", I'm sure. Stupid WB afraid of the little kiddies. Most of the fans are rejoicing, I tell you! (Or at least I am). Points, views, discussion? Do you guys think they'll seriously consider changing actors for Harry?

Well, they did catch an unreasonable (in my opinion) amount of flack when they cast Clémence Poésy as Fleur because she'd been naked in a French film prior to being in The Goblet of Fire. Why did they catch so much flack? Because far, far, far too many Americans are afraid of teh bewbs. And that pales in comparison to how freaked out they are by teh wang.

Huh? That is so weird! I didn't even know that ms Poesy had ever been naked on screen. Oh well, guess it's just not that big a deal in Norway. But come on, it's an artsy play as well as a classic. So what if he's naked?

It doesn't matter. There are far, far, FAR too many uptight prudes with lots of money and big voices in the states. Remember, we're a country founded by folks who were too uptight for Europe.

Arg! Oh well, you can keep your crazy prudes. I thought Norway was bad... but you don't get to mess with my Potter! Do you hear me?! ;)

Are you sure I can't send you some? Just a few? Please???

*laughing* Oh, I'm sure. I have enough as it is here...really couldn't take any more...maybe we could exchange some? You can get the crazies making I-hate-muslims-web pages, and I could get, I don't know, a lawn mower?

Nono, I'm offering you the Jerry Falwell/Fred Phelps two-for-one combo pack! In return, we'll take um... I dunno, a couple of the I-hate-muslims-web page maker guys.

Hmmm...I'll have to think about it. Trading one evil for another...It might be worth it.
