Akron Children’s Hospital will remove a billboard that read, “OMG! There’s an Akron Children’s ER in Montrose!” because one loony mommy religious-leaning blogger was “completely disgusted” by the hospital’s use of the super-common, every-day, dictionary-approved abbreviation, and thought it degraded God.

AHsdh. AOSInvdsav. AHhhhhhhh. OMFFFFFGGG

OK, we think we’re composed now. Let’s just go back and reread that paragraph and catch up so we can continue the story. OK, reading. OK….. OMFG [brain stops working.]

Cindy Orley is her name, and WKYC tackled the subject head-on, as only they can.

Anyone have an abbreviation for Cindy out there? STFU?

  1. Couldn’t it mean “Oh my goodness?” What about “Oh my gosh?” It’s a G, put whatever word you need there to sleep better at night. And, what about people who don’t believe in God? Why do they lose the ability to see cute kids excited about emergency rooms on billboards?

  4. Wow – “degraded God”. I didn’t realize that she knows exactly what God thinks!

    Is she going to go all Taliban on us now?
