Popular gaming blog Kotaku was struck by a strange malady today, deforming the face of the popular site and peppering it with ugly, repetitive headlines screaming “How XXX Makes Home Really, Really Cool”, with a different game name being substituted for XXX every time. Internet commentators suspect a strange new replicating virus, while people close to the situation have been heard whispering something about “common laziness”. When reached for comment, Kotaku editor MICHAEL MCWHERTOR, whose name appeared next to the suspect postings, refused to talk to us, but later sent us three empty emails with the subject line “Mike McWhertor makes Kotaku really really cool”. When we checked with our resident psychologist, the good doctor confirmed that these might indeed be symptoms of garden variety sloth. GameLemon has informed Kotaku senior editors of the situation, and wishes Michael a speedy recovery.
