Jesus, have you heathens never heard the phrase "kitsch" before? I'm *straight* and I still appreciate the basic concept. First, it was funny because it was funny. Then, it was stupid because it was cliche. Now, it's funny again because it's used ironically in reference to the time when it was cliched. I'm not sure if ironic use eventually becomes stupid/cliched as well, but if any phrase is a candidate for us to find out about, "I for one" makes the cut.
