Donald Glover Tweets for Spider-Man
While you were stuffing your face over the holiday weekend -- with alcohol, right guys?! -- Donald Glover was busy creating an Internet meme. The Community star -- spurred on by a commenter to an io9 article suggesting that the actor cast in the Spider-Man reboot should be non-white -- has begun campaigning for an audition to play the friendly neighborhood web-slinger. And campaigning in 2010 means a Twitter hashtag (#donald4spiderman) and Facebook pages devoted to making it happen. Hey, it worked for Betty White. [MovieViral via Vulture]

I already joined the #AlisonBrie4MaryJane Facebook page. I hope at least one of them gets a fair chance to audition. It's weird how much Betty White changed the game.
Glover for EVERYTHING! I believe the man can do it. Didn't you see Mystery Team? He was the master of disguise!
If they cast him, the Uncle Ben thing might get really confusing -- or be a great branding opportunity for rice bowls everywhere.
wow... well done.
