I especially hate it when people use this device (!) right after quoting something, especially if they proceed, redundantly, to explain that they're offended at the quoted text.

Regardless of its long and glorious history, the parenthesized exclamation point could become a new (!) trend, simply by virtue of a tenfold increase (!) in its use in a short time.

What else can you do when Tom Cruise (!) has an uncredited cameo in the middle of your sentence?

It gets tiring when it shows a sense of wonder that Willie Nelson (!) likes Ryan Adams or Jay-Z (!) shows up at a Grizzly Bear show or Will Oldham covers R. Kelly (!).
