I mean go ahead and fantasize about burning people to death. That's totally not really offputting.

Meh, it's too late/early/etc. but chard, I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or not. I think this may be more a sign that people don't think of books the way they used to (because Everything is On The Internet donchaknow) and book-burning, as a whole thing, isn't really equivalent in people's minds to "destroying knowledge" etc. anymore. Plus, I would not put thene's roomies on the same level with, e.g., Terry Jones, who likes to burn religious texts that have inherent value to some people beyond the content of the texts themselves.

...Except when they burned Harry Potter b/c it was about "witchcraft" -- that was hilarious and not nearly as edgy as they were going for.

My point is given all the media play about a small subset of whackjob US fundies burning books, I think thene's roommates probably decided "an eye for an eye" was the best option. Metaphorically speaking. Since people of Palin's particular ilk are down with book-burnings already. Sadly. But! Not sadly, the Internet basically makes book-burning look passe to some people. Which is why Fahrenheit 451 does not have NEARLY the impact today that it should. Even though the "walls" featured as the pacifier in the book are basically what we are living with, and a 100% true prediction by Bradbury.

If you were trolling, just ignore my serious reply. :-P
