I stumbled upon this last night, and had to share it. But I won’t be too harsh on Ms. Rowling, as I firmly believe that every idea has been thought of. Artistically speaking, our species is now reduced to rehashing shit that’s been done at least once or twice before, even if we don’t know it. Just when you think that you have just conceived the greatest idea ever conceived… you find that some crusty fuck conceived it 64 years ago, and shit all over it.
I once literally shit my initials into my toilet bowl (we’re talking random freehand here, no wet toilet-paper dangling rearrangement), and was completely thrilled, thinking I had finally joined two concepts that had never before been joined, and made great art in the process. But I was soon to discover that there was already a site dedicated to my art, and there were almost 40 reports involving poop and someone initials. Jesus.
So what if Voldemort is Darth Vader and Harry Potter is Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia is Hermione Granger? (remind me to update this post next year with an off-color joke about a fantasy three-way) Capitalists rejoice! The bar has thus been lowered! Stop looking for something unique! Just grab a history book and thumb around until you find something that was both cool, and made somebody rich. Chances are you can make a mint taking their innovation calling it your own like so many people are doing today.
