I don't think many legitimate news organizations use the word "pwn." I also don't think it's particularly surprising that the Internet is becoming even more ubiquitous. What a lame-ass read.

I don't think I would trust any GPS system with Wikipedia. I can just imagine: major Interstates still being shown as incomplete while the fictional towns of The Simpsons and Family Guy are impeccably mapped; directions taking you off the path and directing you to where celebrities stopped and ate lunch or used the gas station restroom; an OnStar system that only puts you in touch with middle schoolers; and the entire BADSTATE of Utah being shown as nonexistent.

So far as the power-that-be in the U.S. are concerned, the last sentence is very close to true. A power map would show California, New York, and Florida expanded like tumors (with Texas being large but ignored) and Utah, as one of the vowel-started-flyover states, shrunk to a pinprick labeled: "Skiing, Mormons, JAZZ."

Utah does have some problems on the old GDP (or GSP) per capita measure. But that's got to be in part because of all the kids! I wonder if there's a line-up of GSP per adult? That would surely boost Utah by about 10 spots. If they then made it GSP per adult male -- forget about it!
