For those that have heard about the
zombie terrorist kid, make sure you check out this
more thorough reporting of events, discovered by
dreadpiratetait, before you get up in arms (or braaaaaiiiiinnnnnsss) about making horror fiction a felony crime.
Addendum: What's great about this is seeing how fast it moved before anyone did any further research - I checked when I first found the story - by way of
juanfandango's typist - and did a quick
Google on it.
The number of links in the last hour or so has more than doubled, and I still can't locate the one Jenny found. In fact, I can't locate anything that isn't going on and on about how silly - or Orwellianly Evil - it is that William Poole was arrested for writing fiction.
I did see a few in the early search that echoed my sentiment of "Wait and see if
Snopes debunks it," but those seem to have been flooded out by the outraged and/or amused throng.
It will be interesting to see what kind of equilibrium is reached, and how many will call the ending result a coverup or conspiracy.
Modern media in(space optional)action - a perpetually spinning wheel!
