Namegate

Which is more annoying:

1) The addition of -gate at the end of every single controversy
or,
2) The combination of celebrity couple names to form an uber-name?

I just saw something that referred to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as TomKat. And you have the whole Bennifer thing, and I once heard Brangelina used in a sentence. The sports nickname/pop culture trend of using a letter followed by the first syllable of the second word is incredibly annoying (i.e. A-Rod, C-Webb, J-Lo), but I think it's just barely third behind the two aforementioned trends.

Maybe terrorists don't hate freedom, but instead just hate Extra! That's a plausible explanation for Plane Crash-gate

I wish they just hated Extra, ET, the Insider and etc. If that was he extent, I would personally deliver every entertainment reporter I could find to the "evil doers".

I'm so with you on every word of this post.

I hate the "-gate" thing. Annoying.

I hate, hate the combining of names-thing. I hadn't heard the TomKat one, but when I read it here I threw up in my mouth a little.

I also hate Extra, ET, etc. I hate that the above mentioned things are considered newsworthy.
