Not "too long" perhaps, but long enough. I hope "blight" is used frequently over there - I'm fairly sure that I've never seen "blight launch" before! Wow.
My blight launched on time, thank you very much.
Yes, 'blight' is common-ish headlinese over here. Not a word much used in conversation, I feel.
I also feel it should be a strong verb: yesterday I blit. Sadly it is not so.
