See #74, my friend (and I mean that). You don’t yell “nuke drop” in a crowded theater. There are real “Broken Arrow” incidents. I’d rather the retard bloggers just yell “Boom,” actually, because then you know it’s just the blogger being a retard.

This has nothing to do with the content of the story but you knew that. The story may be nothing, and it may be something. That needs to stand on its own.

But retard headline writers need to stop resorting to yellow headline-ism. Next we’ll start seeing “Triple air collision at press conference!” clickbait headlines. If anything can be a rhetorical device, it eventually will.

I respect you, but I think my point is valid.

Oh, don't worry. This isn't personal, its business.

There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with hyperbolic euphemisms in a headline to describe the absolute importance of a story.

People need to stop tripping off BOOM headlines and concentrate on the story. It seems out here, beyond the trees, that's all people talk about when a story like this comes out, to the exclusion of a discussion of the facts of the case.

Most people understand that its not describing an ACTUAL nuclear weapon being dropped or a 'broken arrow event'.

I respect you, but I think my point is valid.

I appreciate that, and I you, but I think your point is invalid and overplayed.

Now let me illustrate MY point a bitt.

Do you really think there was, or is, a 'King' position in rock 'n roll? Do you believe Elvis was coronated officially? does he have a crown? Was he ordained by God, as all kings are, to rule music? Are we, therefore, his subjects?

And finally, is Elvis alive?

I hope you get my pernt.
