Click Bait Has Ruined the Word Stunned for Me

It has become one of those words that I wish would just go away now.

That is all.

Man was shocked at headlines. You'll be stunned by them too!

Or something like that, I hate click bait titles too. They're just unimaginative. Headlines should either give you a brief synopsis of the story or go for gold like the NY POST

You'll be stunned, too, at this new rule!

See, here's a great story but they had to use that word. Was she truly Stunned?

I really dislike the places like USCCA that post stuff like "Five things that most people get wrong in a shooting scenario. Number four is the most common". And you click on it and it is nothing more than a ruse to lure you into entering your email address so they can flood you with SPAM.

I despise that.

Dang, beat me to that one. X number of celebrities you didn't know were gay. The only ones who "I didn't know" were ones I'd never heard of.
