I think Rob's point more was you'll find eejits out to partake in that
sort of dopiness in any case. Getting riled by it is itself an
incitement for people to carry on joking about it, so if you really want
it to stop then stop taking it seriously!
And as Tony pointed out, "shoot them and burn the bodies" as often
espoused here is not what you'd call completely different.
