Stop making sense

I love this excerpt from Anu Garg's A Word a Day*:

"Whoever came up with the term action sports should get some kind of award trophy gong prize from the International Global World Tautology Foundation Institute Association."
Roger Cox; Four Seasons; The Scotsman (Edinburgh, Scotland); Aug 7, 2010.
