They took it off the market. I saw the actual amazon.com information and oh yeah it was obvious. No dirty minds needed what the kids were liking about it. Last I checked the entire information at amazon about the product was removed. Just as well, I suppose. * sigh * They were just marketing it to the wrong audience. On the other hand... I've now got an idea for the next Ren Faire... |

By saturday i'll have my daughter's copy, but I keep thinking the pope Spies are going to try and explode my car, ITS SO UNHOLY!
 But really what did the magical wizard evilbaby/child/boy/teen/angstmachine do to Cross the Pope's mad crazy schemes path? Some how I get to thinking the pope rolled up the wrong chim chim chiminy to rightchousness, And with that statement I have another statement, LONG LIVE HORRIBLE TASTEING JELLY CONCAUCTIONS, And to counculate the last ever harry potter movie will be 83 hours long with all the doodads and bloopers and bells and whistles, but that wont be for awhile, we're only up to the 4 hour one  Amen! _____________________

Egads... so the new pope must also condemn things like children's educational TV... Talking furry creatures teaching kids language skills and counting. Now that is truly evil. ^^

i agree 100% with the pontiff. harry potter could deeply distort christianity before it can grow properly. If only we could all get this lucky  _____________________

Maybe the Pope made this website?
www.co.jyu.fi/~np/gameofsatan (TURN OFF YOUR SPEAKERS DOWN.) Seems there is a followup sight as well www.co.jyu.fi/~np/rpg/DnD (I have not looked at thios one yet) Just scroll down on the first sight as it talks about Dungeons and Dragons at first but then there is a list of "other bad things" _____________________

Heh... Look at the dates and think about how much mail even a Cardinal gets (as he aludes to in his next letter). There is NO WAY he read her book about Potter, he was just rubber stamping her opion since he didn't have one of his own.
As Pope, he won't be allowed to make mistakes like that. Heck, even as a Cardinal he should have had better helpers. Now that he IS Pope, he'll have to let people he knows and trusts to read the books themselves and give him their judgment. (Because we know HE won't have time to read those page-heavy novels!) Or he can just get the divine word from upon high... (The angel/devil spinner mounted to the ceiling over his bed.) _____________________

So... let me get this straight....100% crystal clear.
Harry Potter is subtly corrupting the youth..... but molestation is ok... With a name like 'Ratzinger' I'm still waiting for Cardinals Fang and Biggles to jump out of a closet telling us what not to expect. _____________________

Hey, let's not go picking on Dungeons and Dragons, we all got into that phase, or at least something like it sometime in our lives, either via gym class (pull ups and flexed arm hanging), or in home ecenomics class making those brownies ala flambe du fire alarm.
Or was that bacon ala flambe du fire alarm...? _____________________

Harry Potter is subtly corrupting the youth..... but molestation is ok... no, i think he's saying it's subtely corrupting christianity in the souls of young children. non catholics need not worry, as we don't christianity, or the proper christianity growing in our souls. i'm pretty sure putting a stop to child molestation is higher on the pontiff's list than harry potter. the given article didn't say anything about molestation though. that would just be my opinion. _____________________

Or was that bacon ala flambe du fire alarm...? Um I'm not picking on D&D that website is rumored to actually be made by a D&D. I pointed it out due to all the heavy handed far out information on the sight. They both started with D&D and the first sight just grew out of control. I can't knock D&D at all. I'm starting to think I'm the last owner of Spell Jammer. _____________________

Can I knock D&D?? I played it for 10 years or so. I gave it up for White wolf. So can I talk about it? If not I will hit you with my +4 Sword of venom. What is your THAC0?
