[HPFGU-OTChatter] AARGH! Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans...

[Starling]

Actually, Ebony, that looked an awful lot like a diaper to me.  
But regardless, that is incredibly poor taste.
I have a feeling that the site programmers, much like the comp sci friends i have here in university, have rather warped senses of humor and this, perhaps, is something that was passed over by the in house sensors.
eeeeew yuck.  diaper-flavored?  that's even worse than earwax. 
Do send them an email.  Heck with the religious right -- I'm hardly religious at all and I still think that they are showing poor judgement.

  ...and I really do suppose they mean every flavor.

  Something's been bothering me ever since I saw the message Em posted 
  over at the HPFWA.  It's no longer April Fool's Day, so rest assured 
  this is no joke.

  First, go to:

  http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/web/bertiebotts/index.jsp 

  Make sure the window is opened fully... the beans should scatter all 
  over the place.  If you move your cursor over all the beans, and hold 
  them there for a bit, you will see the flavors from feet to eggs to 
  strawberry to steak.  

  If you go to the corner by the rightmost window... make sure you 
  don't miss it.

  You'll find a bean that's flavored like... like a pair of, oh, I'll 
  just say it... *girl's/women's underwear*.  I am not making this up.  
  I visit the "official" site on a regular basis, and I wondered how 
  I'd missed something like that.  I blinked... I moved my cursor once, 
  then twice... then my mouth dropped open.

  *Is* that underwear?

  If so, I really, really hope this was an April's Fool joke.  Not sure 
  if it was in the best taste, considering the forum.  In any case, 
  Em's message at HPFWA was right on point... the last thing we need is 
  for the religious right to find out that there is an underwear-
  flavored bean.  You *know* the conclusions that will be reached.

  "Not only does Harry Potter encourage Satanism, it encourages oral 
  sex!"

  I'm thinking of dashing off an e-mail to the site people at Warner 
  Brothers, joke or not.  What do you think?
