Rage Gate Rage

'Mayonnaise rage driver' runs over McDonald's employee.

::sigh:: I realize this headline is meant in jest. But think back to "Air Rage" and "Work Rage." There's a real lazy tendency to just toss "Rage" onto the subject of a story to make it eye-catching. Come on! This woman ran over a human being because of mayonnaise! Do we really need the lamo "Rage" tagline? It's enough to really piss you off! I'm gonna fucking run some reporter over because of it!

And don't get me started on -gate! Whitewatergate, Sausagegate... Ragegate!

This post blows. I apologize. Suppress the rage. It won't become bad post gate. You won't have to get bad post gate rage, and I won't have to have retaliatory bad post gate rage rage, which would really just escalate into bad post gate rage rage gate. That'd really suck. And it won't help the post anyway. I should stop. Or edit.

Gaterageragegateragegate. Blashiggildedoo! Whip wiggidy wow! Samoove!

Thank God I put in a complaints department.

I worry that you're minimalizing the importance of mayonnaise in some peoples lives.

I noticed you didn't mention the annoying tendency to add -"aholic" at the end of things like chocaholic, workaholic, Rootbeeraholic, Rootbeergate. Weapons of mass rootbeer. Rootbeerism.

Well, ketchup really justifies murder. But mayonnaise? That's ridiculous.
