A rabid Harry Potter fan took his life yesterday after inadvertently learning a plot spoiler from the soon-to-be-released J.K. Rowling movie, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” 



Jude Ralston, 32, of Hudson, Ohio left a suicide note indicating that since overhearing the plot spoiler at a shopping mall earlier in the day, “I no longer have a reason to live.”

When you come to a point in your life where a motherf—king movie/book is “all that you are living for”… you’ve got problems. Ending a life over a movie spoiler. Really? Yeah hindsight sure is damn 20/20 - “When he started wearing the wizard hat, we should have seen it as a cry for help” YA THINK? […] Interestingly, I found it odd that it was a 32 year old man - I expected it to be a child. Something was very wrong here.

This appears to be a hoax. First, it’s not being reported by anyone reputable. Look closely at the HuffPo article. Andy Borowitz is a comedian; here’s how the “article” concludes:

Ms. Clovis said that she hoped Mr. Ralston’s death would cause federal authorities to tighten the flow of Harry Potter plot information to prevent similar tragedies from taking place. “In my heart I believe that could have saved Jude’s life, even if he didn’t have one,” she said. Elsewhere, stocks rallied on news of Goldman Sachs’ joint venture with Satan.

Besides, if the film contained a spoiler, that means he hadn’t actually read the books. There is no such thing as a true Harry Potter fan who hasn’t read the books.
