"In my opinion, such a thing should not be used in traditional news. But for blogs or articles, which are just meant for light reading and fun –
He's right they shouldn't be used, but that's ivory tower thinking. Reality... the ad hawkers and yellow sheets will pick it up first (hell, they already do but have to pay humans to do it). Pretty soon, all will be doing it.
It's pretty scary when ivory tower types publish something with the disclaimer "this should not be used for XXXX". It's like a showing a moth a candle.
