Harry Potter and the Internet Meme

I think it would be interesting to discuss in class how the "Dumbledore is Gay" announcement was spread so quickly around the web, and how it organically (or virally) spread from location to location before it even was picked up by mainstream media. It was really interesting to watch how long it took to reach some places and how quickly others, kind of like an earthquake - an epicenter and gradually spreading ripples spreading out from it.
