Interesting, this reminds me of the ignorant tweeps who believed
(despite the text) that the character Rue in *Hunger Games* was white
and asked "Why is Rue Black?" in the movie.
Do folks know of other examples of this?

occurred because of the swear word on her facebook page which made
readers assume she was a man. Interesting conclusion! This is a
facebook hype that deserves a WP page, no?
