Writer's Block: What's under Snape's cape?

[rm]

[Error: unknown template qotd]

ETA: See the question that box asks now? That's not what it used to say. The original question asked which Harry Potter character would you submit to a pat down and why if you were TSA for Hogwarts.

What LJ was thinking: two hot topics get exponentially hotter together.

What LJ actually did: trivialized a significant political and individual rights issue in the US and effectively asked people what fictional characters they'd like to sexually assault.

Sexual assualt: not hot or funny.

The erosion of personal freedom and the application of a whole lot of -isms in the name of security theater: also not hot or funny.

*sigh*

Looks like they just changed the question. (I really mean *just*, too; the old question is in my friends-page tab, and the new one is in the entry tab that I created a minute or two later.)

WOW. Yeah. With no acknowledgement of the thing.

And they made it retroactive to everyone's post now. So now prior respondents want to have "feeling up Snape" as their favorite magic spell. ::facepalm::

Just like they've done in the past with everything but Chase bank questions. Yay for consistency!

Doesn't changing the question in place like that just make things all kinds of confusing without actually fixing the problem?

Or, haven't we learned by now that you can't unsay something stupid on the Internet?

I made a point of editing the original question back into my post. 'cause I have no intention of letting them live this one down.
