I wanted so badly to go see it at midnight. But nobody can pick me up from the theatre at like 2 AM.

Haha.. the last sentence made it so obviously fake.

Elsewhere, stocks rallied on news of Goldman Sachs' joint venture with Satan. More here.

But seriously GS is very very evil. That's why they're the most profitable American bank right now. Biggest market manipulator ever.

I found Harry Potter so boring. I remember back when I was in grade 4 and everyone was freaking out about it, while I was just like "Screw that... I'mma play with my Digimons and Pokemons".

Screw that, it's all about POGS!

Too true... fanatics do exist, people killed themselves when kurt cobain did too and probably other famous people... but over spoilers for a movie let alone a movie that's based on a book is silly

It's comedy news, aka a joke.

Perez obviously fell for it and then removed it quickly.
hahahaha! (oops...should I not laugh?)

Heh, I somehow missed that whole craze.

I remember it started with this drink that consisted of tiny balls suspended in a fluid called "orbits", then Jurassic Park action figures, then Beast Wars action figures, then yo-yos, then Crazy Bones, then Pokemon, then Digimon, then Pokemon again, then Yugi-oh, then Beyblades, then Yugi-oh again, and then Skateboarding... and then hasn't shifted again since then. Magic cards also made random appearences over that entire timeline.

Magic Cards FTW! So much better than Yugi-Oh. I still don't understand how Yugi-Oh cards cost so much.

Another odd thing is how real magic cards have that blue line in them when you rip the card. Kind of a strange way to prove a card is real if you ask me :\

Ya, I remember that packs of Yugi-oh cards went up to $ 20 a pack during the height in their popularity.

I never knew that thing about magic cards... I didn't even know there were fake magic cards around, lol. I remember fake Pokemon cards when I was in grade 3. They had purple backs and had a very waxy laminate as compared to the real ones.

Pogs own man. Just a few months ago, I was playing pogs with my boyfriend. Let's just say I got my butt handed to me. >.>

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if something like a suicide over Harry Potter spoilers happened. Crazier things go on.

Do they still sell them? If so, where? Oh man, I miss all those fads-- Tomagotchi (sp?), Crazy Bones, Pogs, BARBIES, etc. Kids these days are missing out. All they have is HP, HSM, iPhones, etc.

Yeah, fake magic cards definitively exist. They are the more expensive/rarer ones though. You wouldn't see fake land cards or anything like that XD. Even if you did, you would really care as the opponent?

OMG. Remember Furbies?? Yeah, everything was so good back in the day. But then, that's just a sign we're getting old I think. Seniors are always complaining about how it was better back in the day hahaha.

Yeah.. instead of Barbies, it's Bratz (a.k.a promiscuous dolls).

I don't think they sell Pogs anymore actually... maybe a shop that specializes in old stuff like that, or online.

I know Lick's used to give them out in whatever their equivalent to a happy meal is. Don't know if they still do...
