The 'ankle'-gate incident seems to have taken on a life of it's own. Our best-selling national newspaper (the Sun) has the story taking up today's front page here in the U.K.

And I've just seen another update on the BBC news which showed clips of Harrison from the O.T., as well as words of comfort from a middle-aged U.K. 'star wars fan' named 'Luke Skywalker' (yes, seriously) who was seen playing about with his extensive figure/toy collection. Lol.

Back in the 80's an aspiring lawyer legally changed his name to Luke Skywalker, which lead to jokes about Vader being prosecuted for his evil deeds.

I've heard of a Trek fan or two changing their name to James T. Kirk over the years. I'd be willing to bet a Gone With The Wind fan changed their names to Rhett or Scarlett way back when.

Does the media find these stereotypical fans, or do they seek out the media?
