Gates of Hell

OK Internet, it's time we had a talk. Not every controversy has to end in the word "gate". Seriously, it's getting so annoying.

Firstly, not every little piece of news that is a tad controversial (which is practically all of them) deserves its own name. Learn to tone it down.

Secondly, the only scandal that ends in "gate" is The Watergate Scandal. Everything else can be and should be named after something else. It is named thus as the scandal revolved around a robbery of the Democratic Party Headquarters in the Watergate Complex.

Everything else that doesn't have a "gate" ending object central to it, should be named something else. Bigotgate, Chicanegate, Digggate, Cablegate, Whitewatergate, etc need to stop now.
