We'll forgive the overexcited journos for just a moment (here's looking at you, CNN) but another bizzare story to come out of the whole debacle is the misquoting of Martin Luther King Jr, or Mark Twain depending on what Twitter feed you are following.
While people thought they were quoting an established public figure, allegedly they were quoting Jessica Dovey who claims that she was the person who started the trend, saying that the lines got blurred between her words and Martin Luther King Jrs.
Social media - where quotation marks don't count and you can pretend to be whoever you want to be. At least until those social media libel laws kick in...
