Apparently a girl in the PHILIPPINES has just killed herself over fake spoilers of harry potter and the deathly hallows! (http://martinaquino.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/teenage-girl-kills-herself-over-fake-spoilers-of-harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows/)
And people wonder why I despise people who get on the Harry Pothead bandwagon.
-
oh god, i'm gonna take no sympathy in that, sorry.
-
Ditto. No sympathy at all if it's true. I'm just glad they were some stupid fanfic. XD
-
Gotta shake my head at this, really the only thing that comes to mind is : WTF!?!?!?
A piece of fiction is not that important, yet people will do these sorts of things and more whenever individuals reach a certain level of fanatism with something.
-
^Its called religion.
In b4 mod. lol jk, but seriously, some people are just crazy like that
-
...........
3 words : WTF !?
-
It's quite sad to hear this though.
-
such a disgrace for filipinos.. :banghead:
-
It's crazy to blame Rowling or Harry Potter for this. Some people are just obsessive. It's sad all around though.
-
Some innocent person is possibly dead, and because she took her life for a bizarre possibly psychotic reason, she or her loved ones don't deserve any sympathy?
If this is true, my sympathies go out to her and her mother. It's still my belief that no parent should have to see their children die.
Also this can't be blamed on the harry potter series, the girl was obviously mentally unstable if she were to do that. If you were to do so You should despise any kind of fanatic, whether it's HP or H!P.
Also don't see how this person is a disgrace to filipinos, she in no way represented the filipino people.
-
Very sad to hear this. My condolences go out to her family and friends. I feel if she went to that length, she must have suffered from other emotional problems before this came out. I've read people complaining that putting extra help for childline services on the day of the book's release was a waste of resources, but obviously, there are some fanatics that will go to the ultimate length over it.

Indeed, she unfortunately represents what can happen when someone gets so obsessive over a work of fiction that they consider IT to be more important than their own, real, life.
-
I feel bad for the family. It's always sad when a child dies and no child should have to feel so bad that she/he would feel the need to commit a suicide. Obviously her obsession with Harry Potter must have not been her only problem.
-
Gotta feel a bit of sympathy. Crazy people are humans too. Need to know if this is true or not.
-
That's sad but Harry Potter ugh I hate it! I try the book, try the movie and I offically hate it. I don't understand why a girl would even kill herself over a spoiler that may not be true.
-
Theres got to be more than just a harry potter spolier that trigger the girl to commit suicide. It doesn't add up.

Well I think anyone kill themselves over dumb reasons. I mean people were standing in front of book stores dress in customs for the last Harry Potter book. I mean if they dress up for the movies and book releases and collection any Harry Potter items, I think they are crazy for it. I wonder if Harry die in the book and thats why it's last one.
-
Wow.. not good. Never knew such SUPER hardcore readers existed :wth
-
I guess kids these days really are that stupid. It is fake, only a story. Who cares what happens to Harry Potter? Is it worth killing yourself over?
-
*face palm*
God. I get liking something and feeling emotional about it. But. Fuuuck.
-
It's really sad when people can't differentiate between fact and fiction. But then again there are people who believe in a sky daddy. So i guess anything is possible :shocked.
-
What's the girl thinking?? Ridiculous!!! :thumbdown:
-
/fail
wasting you life for a stupid spoiler?
is she nuts?
so sad... as time goes by, many people are becoming more dumb...
what with the fictional harry potter anyway? -.-
-
Epic fail ~ Although I'd be very happy to kill Harry Potter myself. Atleast she should have killed herself over Naruto to make that lived life somewhat more worthy.
-
It just doesn't make sense, it's not even that good of a book. No one ever did this over a Stephen King book.
-
I'd worry for a number of Twilight fans if Edward was ever killed off.
Personally, I'd cheer.
-
Some people just take it too far... so sad to hear. I'd say this counts as a mental health issue, being obsessed over anything to that level.
-
yes she really killed herself - and now she will haunt the unlucky bastard who's responsible :mon cweepy:
:mon lmao: (i can't believe this sh#t)
-
Can't people be normal anymore? Died for a fictional story! Purely stupid!!!!
