I think in this case the images can start some interesting conversations about UX/ human interface devices/ industrial design.

Posting memes would be a different story though - I'd probably bail at that point.

Modding content to this degree is one thing I don't like about (modern) reddit. When the majority of posts start taking a low-information high-emotion form then I'll start worrying. But one off events don't necessarily lead to trends.

Flagging and voting has been very sufficient here.
