Upcoming Harry Potter sex scene? Bleurgh!!!

Director David Yates is to create a more mature version of J.K Rowlings hit book for the 2010 movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The director has also cut out parts of the book to compete with hit series Twilight.

From The Week.com

Next to the perpetually shirtless Twilight vampires, Harry Potter looks “a little staid,” says Stuart Heritage in Britain’s Guardian. By showing a little skin, Harry is just trying to keep up with the competition. Let’s just hope this doesn’t set a precedent for other big-screen adaptations of children’s books — nobody wants to see “the Very Hungry Caterpillar’s nipples.”
“Harry Potter enters the Twilight zone”

The scene will supposedly be a dream sequence featuring Harry and Hermione getting it on.

I never got into the Harry Potter buzz, but how will this affect the fans, young and old, of the series? Not to mention the net pervs…

Either way, at least it’s another reason to blame Twilight for something….

In other Potter news…

Those crazy cats over at CollegeHumor have released a paraody of Harry Potter and Dangerous Minds.

Facebook still feeling the heat

Facebook is still under fire for the Privacy settings update.

Gawker has a blazing article calling it Facebooks Great Betrayal.

People continue to be seriously annoyed, although, as many have already said, being annoyed won’t do much for them.

Meanwhile our own brush with a Facebook issue, OMGPOP spamming us on the article about the Health Reform bill, is finished as far as we’re concerned.

Having emailed the CEO of OMGPOP and receiving an email back from the email address of the suspect message, an apology has been given.

We were also offered 100,000 credits for our OMGPOP account as an olive branch.

None of us have one, nor will we be signing up to get one.

We haven’t bothered replying since.
