Ever met someone who over-used a particular word? I once knew this guy who used the word “dope” to describe everything. It was as if every other adjective in the English language evaporated, leaving everything either “dope” or “lame”. It wasn’t that my friend was stupid… he was just trying too hard to be cool.

Over at G4TV’s “The Feed”, about 6% of today’s headlines included the term “pwnd”. Seemed like overkill. A very quick dig into their archives yielded the following recent headlines.

British Dude Pwned By Sleep!
Paris Hilton Officially PWNED!
C-Murder PWNED!
Posh Spice Gets Pwnd By NBC!
Google Gets Totally Pwnd By eBay!
Carrie Underwood Gets Pwnd LOL!

Is it just me or does it seem like whoever’s writing this stuff is trying just a little too hard to be “hip with that gaming jive”

Hey G4! Just keep it real!
