    But I just fail to see how you can make the world better by sitting on your ass playing WoW 12 hours a day.

    But just imagine the random acts of stupid/evil they would commit if they had those 12 hours free
    driving around in their hummers clubbing baby seals in darfur while wirelessly hacking bank accounts to transfer money to north korea to buy nukes to give the terrorists to kill endangered rain forests... Sounds like a fun weekend to me

    With a name like that, it's got to be good.

    You may laugh, but there's a logical reason for the name.
    The scandal's moniker stems from an attempted break-in by CCP developers into the DNC headquarters in the Jumpgate Hotel in Washington, D.C.

    That said, I wish hotels would get more creative with their names. I mean, you've got the Irangate, the Monicagate, Whitewatergate, and the Watergate, just to name a few.
