This post on VH1's Best Week Ever's website is poking fun at the cultural phenomenon shocker that was JK Rowling's revelation that Dumbledore of the Harry Potter series is gay.A funny parody of ex-NSyncer Lance Bass's cover of People magazine revealing the very same information, this cover comments effectively on the international shockwave that the author created in her outing of the famous character. The fact that this information was at the forefront of a good number of news shows also makes a statement about the power behind JK Rowling's words. By envisioning her beloved character as gay from the beginning of the series, and revealing it so nonchalantly in an interview, Rowling actually has the brilliant effect of teaching tolerance to the range of generations that read her novels. Thus, Rowling uses pathos through her readers' connection to her characters to convey her message.
