Interspecies Eortica

Yes, that is none other then Harry Potter in a promo shot for Equus that opens this month. Now we could talk about the disturbing aspect of this (kid is still very young, old women being attracted to this young kid ((read the comments))) or we can branch this off into other avenues of discussion. Though the older ladies reactions makes me think once again why is when we hear about teachers having sex with students lately it always turns out to be a pretty good looking woman having sex with a child. No, this goes into the other news story this week about a horse, Barbaro.

The horse that was undefeated, but had only one major win, died this week when doctors decided to put him down due to the pain, or so they claim. Apparently many people are saddened by the passing of this horse. I understand loving animals, and I understand being sad when something tragic and inhuman happens to them, like the Silver Spring Monkeys, but this I don't understand. I really wonder if this is just another case of the MSM making a big fluff piece to distract you from the real issues in the world.

On a side note, it's nice to see that Harry Potter is following in the steps of Mr. Spock, but he needs to avoid hobbits if he can. He's already come dangerously close being a sorcerer and all, but if he makes a song from Ron or Fang then it's all downhill from there. At any rate he needs to talk to Mark Hamill about professional options after a role you’re typecast for is officially over. He may need to talk with William Shatner as well as to what to avoid initially, see Kingdom of Spiders.
