Just few months back the most wanted Osama Bin Laden was killed by U.S. navy seals. This news was one of the biggest in the history of media. The news was so big and hot that some of the media houses in order to present the news quickly did a big mistake and that was confusing “Osama Bin Laden” with U.S. president “Obama” and the headlines turned out be something like this, “OBAMA BIN LADEN DEAD”.

| FOX News saying "OBAMA BIN LADEN DEAD" |
Frankly speaking the words “OSAMA” and “OBAMA” are so similar that there is just a difference of one alphabet (i.e. the second alphabet). But I believe media houses are not supposed to do such blunders.
If you feel the media houses were the only ones to commit this mistake then probably this will shake your mind. Around the world thousands of people searched Google the same way. The search queries like "Dead Obama Bin Laden" and "Obama dead body" were hit so many times that Google was forced to automatically included these queries in Google's auto complete feature.
This proves that many users around the world typed the wrong query unintentionally. Oh that is weird isn't it?
