Gaming News: "Word Choice"

As you all know, I have a bit of an issue with sensationalist headlines, game industry specific or otherwise. So when I read a headline like this: "The Secret World Demo Goes Down on GDC (PC)" [more info]* I'm bound to find fault with it. The problem is, in this instance, the headline is marginally valid.

In the article behind that headline Funcom discusses/demos the Secret World MMO at GDC. In the video however there is a strong hint at female on female vaginomancy. I do however still find the headline Gamespot decided to go with a bit too sensationalist and lacking a bit of professional maturity. **shrugs**
Now before you give me crap for not drawing anything, remember, I usually illustrate what came to mind after reading such a headline. Well, the image that came to mind wasn't really suitable for this site. And the truth is, I thought completely censoring the image was loads more funny, because it left you to your own imaginations which I'm sure were just as eye-twitchingly "wrong".
