Another unexpected side effect is the proliferation of news stories about the surge of archery's popularity because of
Hunger Games. I've been encountering these stories every day for 4 weeks.
Please note I'm not criticizing you for posting this, just marveling at the herd...

It's classic movie exploitation. Pressbooks of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s used to include the suggested text of such "fad" news items to promote a given movie.
News "items" don't have to be genuine, they just have to be "interesting". Lazy editors have run disproven urban legends as "fact" for decades.
