BEST BLOG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night, I noticed Emily's deodorant cap boasts, "NO WHITE RESIDUE!" As I was brushing my teeth, I came to realize what was bothering me about this. The all caps proclamation was fine, but what's up with the exclamation point? I would argue that this is the most unnecesarry use of the exclamation point I have ever seen (and believe you me, I've seen plenty of exclamation point abuse!!!!!!!!!!!). I mean, come on, the only text on the entire deodorant cap is "NO WHITE RESIDUE." It's already in capital letters and it's not competing with any other text, boasts, or disclaimers. The emphasis is implied. The exclamation point is pure overkill.

Ever since then, I have been mulling over the following question in my head. Which is abused more:

a) The exclamation point, when used by mediocre writers who know of no other way to score emphasis?

OR

b) Slow-motion climaxes in mediocre sports and action movies?

I just can't decide. I mean, I JUST CAN'T DECIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
