Twitter/internet mindset gripes
It's so frustrating to me that that original "lol look at this Paris artist they made a buttplug Christmas tree" tweet has FOURTY-THOUSAND retweets, yet any tweet clarifying it was someone in America, gets 4-5 thousand at the most.
Stop spreading misinformation just because it seems funnier that way, and that it gets you clout.
If I was particularly bitter, I'd call it a little racist. That is, people think foreigners accidentally doing something is quirky and entertaining, and the idea that someone - from your own country in particular - will do something with designed intent, loses that dehumanising appeal.
