I saw this the other day. What epic douchery. I much prefer the Ayn Rand version of the books (link is in one of Alisanne's random posts of random). At least they're amusing.
Posted on ff.net or not, I can't wait for the lawyers to have a go at this. Copyright infringement et al. Also, the ACLU might have something to say about this, as well as the Secret Service - it is, after all, illegal to make death threats against the current head of state, and it is not considered protected under the "freedom of speech" amendment in the constitution.
What speshul soap bubbles her children must be, that she seriously expects them to be unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. What next, rewrite The Cat In The Hat, and Go Dog Go? Obviously, they aren't real things that can happen; dogs don't drive cars and cats don't talk or babysit. I wonder if the real problem she has with the books is that the whole premise of them is "this is all happening, you just don't know it because you're not special enough" you poor muggle, you? Is she more offended that she's not one of the special people, or that it will force her kids to think critically about the world around them and thus possibly challenge the authority of everything they've ever been taught. Probably the latter.

Or she's just stupid.
