J.K. Rowling Must Register as a Pedophile
This new system for ferreting out pedophiles in England just might work. People who refuse to be investigated for their potential danger to children will be put on a 'watch list' that has normally been reserved for convicted rapists and molesters.
At least England is finally doing something to protect the virtue and safety of their innocent youths. We should study this plan and try to introduce something similar here.
J.K. Rowling Must Register as a Potential Pedophile
....all children's book authors who visit schools must register with a national database intended to protect children from pedophiles, and they must pay a fee to do so. Beginning October 12, 2009, the Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) will require that all adults who work with children, including authors such as J.K. Rowling and Philip Pullman if they make special visits to schools, will be required to register with the database for a fee of £64 ($105).
[other proven pedophiles include] several well-known authors will boycott schools in protest of the requirement. Philip Pullman, Anne Fine, Anthony Horowitz, Michael Morpurgo, and Quentin Blake have all publicly stated that they object to having their names listed in the database.
Pullman, author of the popular fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials, called the policy "corrosive and poisonous to every kind of healthy social interaction...This reinforces the culture of suspicion, fear and mistrust that underlies a great deal of present-day society. It teaches children that they should regard every adult as a potential murderer or rapist."....In an editorial in the Independent, Anthony Horowitz, author of the The Alex Rider Collection (Alex Rider Adventure) and the Power of Five book series, perhaps put it best: "This is a law made by people with a bleak and twisted view of society. And such people, quite simply, should not be making laws."

The girls that read them are total dorks.
