The word "Revolution" is overused.

Has anyone else gotten sick of this word? It's almost as overused as epic.


There is an unlimited supply of these pictures. When a word is used so incredibly often, it begins to lose all meaning. This is what has happened with revolution. Companies constantly use it to make their brand sound more important than it is. Like the Shake Weight.


Of course, this is another meaningless, forgettable workout product that no one will care about in a few months. The advertisers know this too, so in order to sell as many of the stupid things as they can before its product life is up, they hype it up like crazy, as we can tell by this stupid video. And what word to they use? The old standby for crappy products. Revolution. 

The word revolution should apply to:

1: the overthrowing of a government, or the process of such
2: the process of an object spinning on its axis.

That's it. There is no such thing as a REVOLUTIONARY new way to prepare mashed potatoes.
