In 2001 when Mac OS X was first released, it was forgivable. In 2012, it’s not only old, it’s just downright lazy. I’m talking about those pathetic headlines that Web sites use to usher in a new release of Apple’s operating system. You know the ones I’m talking about — “Mountain Lion roars” or “Mountain Lion leaps.”

I asked my Twitter followers for their favorites and they came through for me. Here is a list of the worst Mountain Lion headlines. If you’re on this list, it’s not just me laughing at you, it’s your readers too.
