    Off the main topic of the article here, but that was a roller coaster of thoughts for me with the Title and the link thumbnail-

    Kinda looks like Drew Berrymore in the thumbnail, so “Bionic Girl Debuts…” oh cool, new movie—-wait, Drew lost her arms and now has prosthetics? Opened the article……Ohhh…

      I had the same serious of thoughts, but also thought it said “blonde girl” and so wasn’t as excited for the movie.
