I was reading a review of the new X men movie on [cnn.com](http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/01/review.x2/index.html) and I came across this sentence:

> [@](#):
>
> Raised in a traveling circus, Nightcrawler can teleport from one place to another and looks like a blue-skinned demon, with pointy ears, yellow eyes, hooves and a prehensile tail.

Geez, for a minute I thought you were going to say he used “asshat” in a review. Or he ended it with “Gotcha ya!”
