I hate clip art with a passion - come join me

I hate clip art.

Anyone care to join me in a 'I Hate Clip Art' Club? We could offer prizes for the most inane and predicatble use of clip art in so-called amusing inter-office memos.

We could compile an All Time 100 Worst Pieces of Clip Art.

I think the cartoon of the guy sitting at the PC scratching his head has to be the pits. Wanna know what he's thinking? "How do I insert MORE CLIP ART into this document???"

I mean - do people really think that by inserting some dumb picture into their document, they're really being individual and creative, when exactly the same picture is being inserted into identical office newsletters all over the planet..?

Death to all clip-art.

Someone please write a sneaky virus that loads itself onto corporate PCs, and quietly makes subtle but surreal alterations to all the files in c:\msoffice\clipart.

A lobster in the hand of the irate man with the telephone, perhaps.

And if I see that f^#$ing Microsoft Windows cocktail on one more poster for someone's leaving do...
