Go Home Already: Please Don't Freak Out
But this photo, taken in Old Town on Friday night by zenisfrisbee just before the final Harry Potter book was released, is too funny not to post. I honestly honestly honestly have no idea if this is true, I'm still reading The Half-Blood Prince, and I'm choosing to believe this guy is just trying to rile people up. For now, PLEASE DO NOT POST SPOILERS in the comments. I will remove them. That said, it's a good question to raise: when will it become OK to talk openly about the book's ending? In a few more days? A week?
>> Gallery Place Living has changed its name to Penn Quarter Living. Cue the shrieking denunciations of real estate developers trying to change the names of D.C. neighborhoods in five, four, three ... [via Free Ride]
>> At 7 p.m., the Democratic candidates for president will face questions sent in via YouTube. At 7:01 p.m., a YouTube commenter will declare that Mike Gravel is "teh suxxor." [CNN]
>> President Bush does not have colon cancer. [AP via WaPo]
>> The 2007 Hottest Media Types Nominees are up. There are a few former DCists and Friends of DCist on the list, so we might have to arrange a few cage matches to determine who will get the coveted DCist Endorsement of Hottness. [Fishbowl DC]

BIBLE SPOILER ALERT:
Jesus dies.
Let's post spoilers in other comment threads.
Reid: But there was a sequel, right?
great galloping jesus, but i love that photo.
Give us otherwise occupied people a month before posting spoilers, PLEASE
Agreed--this is a fantastic photo.
A month? Look, the whole world can't stop just because you can't get your act together to read a book that takes at most 10 hours to read.
That whole "Hottest Media Types" thing is the very essence of lameness. I would think a female EIC would put the kibosh on linking to that kind of misogynist dreck.
he's been dead since the sequel. get on with your lives and read something more interesting.
Considering the fact that many sites (including Wikipedia, oddly enough) have posted entire plot summaries, I'm not sure that deleting spoilers is going to do much good.
Is there a problem with the login system? I keep getting a bad password message.
What I thought was even better was the back of his sign: "Voldemort kills him"
In a world where everyone knew the ending to the Sopranos the day after and it was spoofed in a political campaign within a week, expecting a month free of Harry Potter spoilers is simply not realistic.
Darth Vader is Harry's father!!!!
The bitch set him up!

I believe that it should be legal to throatpunch little fuckers like that guy. He's lucky I didn't come across him in Old Town on Friday. Me and my Potter-posse would have given him a beatdown.
THE POTTER HYPE CONTINUES !!!!!!
Get over it already folks...
SNAPE: "HARRY, I *AM* YOUR FATHER"
Howzat for a spoiler ?????
Heh heh
SMIRKING CHIMP HAS NO COLON CANCER ? DAM!
Now the test is finished, Bush can go back to sticking his head up his ass, as Letterman suggested last night...
Voldemort names his successor: Dick Cheney.
