Not So Harry After All...



Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter) stars in a West End revival of Peter Shaffer's Equus. "Nude" publicity stills of Radcliffe are posted to the play's official website. The world reacts:
  • Muggles the world over are shocked and wonder why nobody "thinks of the children(TM)".
  • Wizards yawn and shrug at yet another Hogwart's alumni posing in nude photos with horses.
  • Closeted teenage gay boys across the world begin several days of wistful pining.
  • Closeted middle age married men on the downlow begin several days of not making eye contact with their teenaged sons.
  • Furries seethe with jealousy.
It amazes me that there's still shock over a happy trail. Didn't we deal with this, like, back in the 1970's? It's David Cassidy on Rolling Stone all over again (no word, however, on whether Cassidy, a noted equestrian, also poses nude with horses). I mean, it's not like these are shots of Harry Potter in-character playing naked twister with the Weasley boys. Though that'd be kinda hot. Especially if the twins got in on it. The photographers seem to have gone out of their way to make Radcliffe look as un-Potteresque as possible.

How long d'you think before the world gets its first view of Hermione's boobs?

Oh, how funny, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom just issued an apology for having an affair with his campaign manager's wife. And where are the damn pictures of that?

And there begins another moist day in the Bay Area.
