Clearwater, home of Scientology and early sex education of various
kinks. {g}  By eleven, we were required to take sex education courses
as part of the public school system... and learn how to place a condom
on a cucumber. ;-)  I remember being rather impressed by the lady
demonstrating because she had long nails and she was stretching the
latex over her hand without ripping it to dispel some of the beliefs
in condoms ripping easily.  Heh, many were giggling.

{chuckle} I was watching the local morning news a couple weeks back
and they were joking about Ron Weasley's quidditch being cut from the
fifth movie but Harry Potter's 'first kiss' was left in... and no, it
wasn't with Ron Weasley.  LOL!  Rowling's already been 'condemned' as
some sort of advocate for evil and satanic worshop via witchcraft...
why not add sexual deviant. {g}

Hm, I'm sorry that this may seem blunt but I think parents should
prioritize their kids over concern for an author's welfare.  I'm
certain JKR has a stable of lawyers at her disposable and they do look
over the level of liability for links.  Plus, to remove that link
would invalidate the good of the fan site.
