why does "request body" have a red background in fiddler?

Question

Why is my local Fiddler app displaying a red background for the Composer "Request Body"?

Here's the text I'm using: {'count':'2', 'since_id':'14927799'}

This appears to look like a standard js object to pass as parameters for a service call.

Why does Fiddler display "Request Body" with a red background when I paste in the text I'm using above. I'm guessing Fiddler is saying that the Request Body is invalid. If so then what am I missing here? I'm used to calling services directly through jQuery.....

Fiddler's Composer will show the body background in red if it contains text but the request method is not one that carries a body (POST, PUT, etc).
