she was not joking nor was she speaking in an auditorim full of children.
the video shows her as serious.
the crowd went silent and then a few adults applauded but it was a pregnant pause by the crowd and it was pretty clear it the applause was as sincere as a clinton cackle.

Oh dear.
THAT is the essence of sarcasm and irony. You dont do with a ‘zany’ face.Sarcasm and irony are done with a straight face...
To: the scotsman
oops meant to say the video was shown with her in an auditorium of children.
The shocked pause of the audience does not bode well. Nor did she say “just kidding”.
FNC has pick up on this.
She is not disclaiming it.
what is a parent to think?

"Throw out your Harry Potter books and teach your kids how to read THE BIBLE instead." You may throw out my Harry Potter books over my cold, dead body and my sightless staring eyes.

"Sorry, but truly the stereotype that Americans dont get irony is true. Why do you people take everything SO literally?" I would be weak with laughter if it were not for my irony-deficiency anemia.

Put down the haggis and learn to use the “To:” box...

Why dont you get a grip? If you knew American humor, you would realize that most of us are laughing at her words in our posts. You obviously dont understand Americas way of making fun of something in an offhand way.

Maybe he’s not actually gay; just acts like he’s British. It’s hard to tell the difference, except homosexuals usually have better teeth.

Scotsmen are supposed to be “dour”. Give him a warm Guinness and he’ll soon understand our humor too.

This means Ian McKellen will get to play him in the last movie, right?When Richard Harris played the role, he certainly had a Gandalf thing going. Maybe that's what gave Rowling the idea:

Michael Gambon, who took over the role, has more of a Santa Claus/Fagan look:

"We can not attest to the treatment of your corpse under the previously mentioned cirucumstances." I don't think I will enjoy that.
I recommend that you be respectful. I plan on having a lively ghost.
And if my ghost ever makes it to Heaven, it will be surrounded by books! How else would I recognize the place?
