What have you done, J K Rowling?! You've completely ruined Dumbledore for me! (If you don't know what I'm talking about, you really need to read the newspaper more often.)
Also, I think I made a big mistake by including Kimi Raikkonen in my list of over-rated people. He fully deserved to steal the F1 World Championship from right under the grumpy noses of Lewis Hamilton (who's still my favourite driver), Fernando Alonso and McLaren. And did he do it in style!
ALSO, I hate it when Roger Federer loses, specially in a tournament final, as he did today against David Nalbandian at the Madrid Masters. By the way, has it become some kind of a fashion to defeat the top 3 ranked players in consecutive matches?

man ya even i didnt understand why JK R. had to publish such a disgustin thin abt dumbledore ....she's really missin the fame...sick woman!!!!!!!
why would d'dore being gay 'ruin' the character? while i agree it does look like she is playing to the gay-lesbian crowd, why is it a problem?
@ featherbone
Well, it's a problem because it reeks so enormously of political correctness....The thing that bothers me most about this revelation is that the only reason JKR brought up the subject of D'dore's sexuality was to keep interest in the series alive, and that to me is a pretty pathetic thing to do.
i see what you mean.
however, sometimes there has been so much injustice done to particular groups, that it takes some political correctness, however forced, to bring issues up and begin to right wrongs. example: chak de india. a three hour exercise in political correctness, but a needed statement.
btw, just about finished trudi canavan's 'the black magician' trilogy. thought the gay issue was brought up and handled with a lot more sensitivity and naturalness (is there such a word?) than rowling's ham handed attempt.
Haven't watched Chak De India (surprise, surprise!) and your comment has just made me even more reluctant to watch it....long live political correctness!
