Hermione? More Like "His"-mione....

That was a terrible pun, but its been almost a week since J.K. Rowling outed Dumbledore and I'm just trying to keep things fresh. I considered some headlines like "Dumbeldore Smokes Pole" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Ass-kaban," but I thought those were worse.

But anyway: J.K. Rowling revealed at a press conference that head wizard Dumbledore was gay and harbored a crush on the powerful dark wizard who used to be his friend. I guess with all of his robes, crystals and unique hairstyles it should not surprise me that Dumbledore is a mo. What does surprise me is how quickly people have found a way to make money off of this fact.

Dumbledore Pride, for instance, has already sold 7,000 shirts.

And its not just the commercial possibilities here that have gotten people's magic wands all tingly. The religious right has already gotten in on the act, claiming that Rowling is playing up to the gay agenda by revealing that such a trusted moral authority in the Potter-verse is a poof.

First satanism, now buggery. Lets hope that there isn't a major earthquake in the next couple days because I'm sure Ms. Rowling will get blamed for that too.
