A British woman has made quite a stir in Twitter land with her misinformed political tweet; the Brit mistakes PM Cameron with POTUS Obama, all the while totally botching Barack's name. The beautician's tweet about UK president Barraco Barner immediately went viral.
The Daily Mail reports, that by the time she had realized her mistakes, and deleted the tweet, it had already been screengrabbed and shown on television programs in Australia and Belgium, among others.
The hashtag #barracobarner was trending around the world, and new spoof accounts @BarracoBarner (UK prez, chilling at Number 10) and Michelleo Barner (First Lady of the United States of Britain) were set up.
Meanwhile the beautician, who works in a salon in Blackpool, was being invited onto TV and radio chat shows and having to fend off unkind comments calling her 'stupid', 'spaz' and 'dumb' on the social media site that made her name.
Ms. Worral says that "the response I have had from people has been awful" - I have had messages from strangers calling me a "stupid cow" and an "oxygen thief."
