"ripe"

rife (rìf) adjective
rifer, rifest
1. In widespread existence, practice, or use; increasingly prevalent.
2. Abundant or numerous. See Synonyms at prevailing.
[Middle English, from Old English rýfe.]


I think I was going for the "increasingly prevalent" need to change a gory subject.

However, ripe would have been more appropriate. I stand abashed. -- Is this corner okay?
