Data shows overuse of the word 'pandemic' becoming 'global pandemic'

One example: http://bankinfosecurity.com/node/2696

Isn't "Global pandemic" a bit redundant? Also, is the term "pandemic" even appropriate, or the most appropriate, to describe an Internet-based malady? Pandemic implies distribution over a large geographic area.

Plenty more http://news.google.com/news?q=pandemic&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=nn&oi=newsr

And thankfully I found this article criticizing this trend: The 'Pandemic' Epidemic
