Poll question: Which thread type has jumped the shark?

14. Others: (but I voted for the dingbat one)
1. Song lyrics
2. Youtube video links

Sorry, but these two annoy me the most. At least the poster could give a heads-up in the subject line. That would be much appreciated!

BTW, I love copycats, even the dumbest ones. They make me :rofl: while the above two make me :grr:
