Highlight Feature Of The Day: Words With Friends

This fucking cell phone game Words With Friends has hit the world of digital culture by storm. Everyone plays it, they sit there and try to find the perfect word that they can get the most points out of and they even try to break records for how many games they can play at one time. It’s almost out of hand, but it doesn’t bother me that much.

I’ll tell you what does bother me about Words With Friends though, and that is cheaters. Is a fucking cell phone game that important that you need to go on dictionary.com to find words that no one has ever heard of before? Using dictionary.com for Words With Friends is the equivalent of steroids in baseball. As soon as one person’s secret about dictionary.com gets out, everyone fucking uses it. It takes away from the integrity of the game.

Let’s be honest, can you really look at yourself in the mirror and be happy with the person you see if you have to cheat during the electronic version of scrabble? I think you’re either way too competitive, or have some other types of issues. Maybe winning is just that important to you. Who knows?

This is why Words With Friends is bullshit. The cheaters have ruined it for everyone. If you’re going to play Words With Friends, do it the right way. Use your own fucking head. And by the way, everyone knows you’re a cheater when you take fifteen minutes to respond with a four letter word that Albert Einstein invented. Remember, you’re the one who has to look in the mirror later.
