| | |  Britney Watson?
AOL recently made a blunder, using the face of Emma Watson to link to a Britney Spears music video.
A screencap of the mistake can be seen here.

Anyway, I don't think it was on purpose or meant as a joke. Like I said, I believe it was just a simple programming mistake. Maybe they meant to do another link to a story with Emma's pic, just so happened that they were doing Britney's at the same time and accidentally swapped them.
Still, they need to be more careful with that. Imagine little kids seeing Emma's pic (and they don't always read first) and they click on it thinking it's about Harry Potter and they see Britney's -- uumm -- well her PG-13 video. That would be a shock! | |

I think that it was a honest mistake that everyone has. Everyone makes a mistake. That's doesn't justices what AOL did because I can imagine that having someone name with your picture can be really upsetting, but I don't think Emma really is that insulted. Now, Britney may be a little upset. | |

Kaz has got it right. It's a funny blooper. That's all. No conspiracy theories just an honest (although albeit, stupid) mistake. | |
