| | |  Laura Mallory wins top honor
The Washington Post has chosen Laura Mallory, the Georgian woman who tried to ban Harry Potter books that she's admittedly never read from school libraries, as the “2006 Idiot of the Year.” Quote:
This vigilant mother of four has demanded local schools remove Harry Potter from their libraries because, in her analysis, the books are an "evil" attempt to indoctrinate children in Wicca religion. Congratulations Laura, and good luck on your quest to eradicate the dark forces which pollute children’s literature.

When I first saw that it made me laugh pretty hard.
I mean its kind of sad... But at the same time what she's doing is completely stupid. If you're against the books than just don't let your children read them. Other childrens are completely capable of restricting what their children read, they don't need Mallory to help them. [/rant]

She should be the idiot of the universe no offense to her...readin Harry Potter is better than going outside and getting yourself into trouble...why she want to ban it? Was it a religious reason? or what?

The sad part is what she based her argument on: She wrote to Readers Digest protesting them putting JKR on their cover because millions of children had supposedly converted to Satanism and/or Wicca after reading the HP books. "And I know it's true," she wrote. "I read it on theonion.com."
This poor woman is so clueless, she didn't even know theonion.com is a satirical site.
