Agreed. Perhaps someone could write a code that changes posts containing the words "Bush's fault" to "I need an original thought, please"...or..."Insert new punchline here"...or something similar. This tired verbal fad, like "Gag me with a spoon", will hopefully pass on soon.
People drowning isn't a joking matter to begin with, or so it seems to me. Gallows humor, I suppose.
At least people seem to have gotten a little tired of "stuck on stupid." It was a good line worth noting when it happened, but after reading 2,000 times on FR I just wanted to bang my head on my desk.
