The Revenge of the Sixth
The Harry Potter book comes out tomorrow. To celebrate, in traditional LLamabutcher style, we present our official "LLamabutcher Harry Potter Week" with this abomination:
Let me present Hermione LLamabutcher!
INDCent Bill kicked things off yesterday mocking the position of the Holy See on Harry Potter (It sux, man: Lemony Snickett kicks Rowling's boohonk!) by reminding the Church to mind the beam in its own eye:
The Pope's condemnation is especially surprising in light of the series' popularity with Catholic priests, many of whom are known to own a great deal of Harry Potter novels, coloring books, toys, themed candy and children's sleeping bags.
At least he spared us the jokes on wand usage.

I know that you Llamabutchers don't hold movie adaptations in high regard (LOTR, anyone?), but still thought I'd pass that observation on for what it is worth (not much).

Ok, am I the only one with the little voice in my head screaming at this point?
