We have become too attached to hyperbolic language in modern times. Even if I agree with the person making the point, nothing turns me off more than seeing said point presented in a spectacularly bad way. If you believe something sucks, tell us why it sucks. Don't fill a paragraph with coarse idioms and silly nonsensical comparisons. Seems like a frequent occurrence lately, whether from headlines telling me how "Subject X is killing/destroying/etc Subject Y", or even in this thread about The Godfather, it hurts discussion more than it helps.
