Nope. They're so ingrained into ATOT that it would be like trying to remove Internet Explorer from Windows. :p

making a parody thread cursing other parody threads is so paradoxical in nature that my brain may have just exploded

Giving a week vacation to the thread starter for every parody thread would go a long way to ending parody threads.

They're not funny. They waste bandwidth. They shove 'real' threads off the front page faster.

Real threads like the typical teenage angst threads or the YAGT's? We could use a little laughter every now and then.

It does seem to be a bit out of hand today though.

I agree. At least the quality is fairly good today. The "Ninja took my gf" thread is priceless.
