Just a bit of Devil's advocacy here, buuuut...IME, some of the biggest "WTF?!" topics have yielded some of the strongest entries, or at least it seems. I remember when "weak force" dropped in Season 8, for example, we all flipped our collective shit...and then a shitload of people put up some of their strongest work that week, and the variety of the pieces was downright amazing, in that there *was* no "this is what everyone and their dog is doing with this topic this week" trend, because everyone was just running in their own direction. IIRC, Honey Badger in Exhibit A was a similar situation - everybody WTFed, shook their fists, drew a collective blank at first...then put up some massively strong and powerful pieces. I think the WTF topics serve a higher purpose, even if the only purpose they serve at first is to make everyone shake their fist at the screen and curse like a proverbial wounded pirate who just ran out of rum.
