Asshole Alert: "Pranksters" Spoil Harry Potter Suprise Ending to Kids Standing On Line To Buy Book

DO NOT CLICK ON THIS IF YOU'RE READING THE BOOK AND CARE ABOUT THE ENDING. The link gives away the ending.

I'm not into Harry Potter... but this is just assholery of the first order.

Some people just need attention. And they don't much care if it's good attention or bad attention.

And yeah, okay, Boston Irish and I did sort of the same thing for a week when The Crying Game came out. But one, no kids were involved (I hope no kids were seeing it, anyhow) and two, the producers and studios were so annoying about not giving away the "suprise twist" (which most people knew about) it seemed justified.

Thanks to Evan.
