Re Hunger Games -- I think it turned out that the "outraged twitter" messages were part of a hoax... and they all were taken down fairly quickly.

Also re Hunger Games -- There's always the discussion over Katniss's ethnicity -- she's described as having "olive skin" and dark hair, eyes, etc. while her mother and Prim are fair haired and blue eyed. Does that indicate that she's mix-raced? Does anyone know how Suzanne Collins envisioned her? What is Olive skin, anyway? Light or dark brown cured in a barrell? Green on the tree? Black in a can? Can we all just agree that this is a useless descriptor and toss it out of the window as of Feb. 2014?
