Daniel Radcliffe and the Attack of the WOWSERs

[ladymirth]

Apparently, parents of HP fans are enraged that their children's hero is doing a nude scene. They think that "it is irresponsible of him to do so when so many children look to him as a role model". 

Alright, hello? Harry Potter: beloved fictitous children's fantasy character who flies on a broomstick and only recently got himself a girlfriend.  Daniel Radcliffe: real-life, flesh, blood and hormones aspiring actor who recently became a legal adult, looking to break out of his "child actor" label. I think if you squint slightly to the left, you'll make out a few differences between them.

And as somebody pointed out, there are not a few children who see Justin Timberlake as a role model too.

*eyeroll* Oi vay.

Common question running through everyone's comments: Why take your kids to see the play anyway?! Just because Dan is in it does not mean it's Harry Potter on stage.

People like that should really be locked up and never allowed out again for their ignorance talked some sense into.

I don't think people like that have any kind of sense to begin with, anyway. These are WOWSERs, Paro. They're not like normal reasonable people.=(

WOWSER= We Only Want Social Evils Redeemed-ers.

Can we still go and terrorise them, please?

[ladymirth.livejournal.com]

By all means! People like this might as well go around with a "kick me" sticker on their asses.
