Finally, this is NOT a recommended link. But I must point out that this probably the dumbest thing that will be posted on the Internet in 2014: "If JK Rowling Cares About Writing, She Should Stop Doing It." Congratulations, Lynn Shepherd.
Footnote
1. Speaking of Ghostbusters, with regard to the death of Harold Ramis, Patton Oswalt had the following brilliant Tweet: "If a Twinkie represents amount of grief I feel when someone dies, Harold Ramis' death would be a Twinkie 35 feet long weighing 600 pounds."
