We'll admit, when this fad started, we were as guilty as the rest you for sharing them. It was pretty funny at the beginning, but it's gone too far. I even saw my mum share one earlier today. No. This has to stop. Now.

Bill is everywhere. Bill has taken over Facebook. Bill is an annoying smart ass. Let's kill Bill.

Unless Snowzilla knocked out your WiFi last weekend or you live under a rock, you probably know the Bill of which we speak. No, not your actual friend Bill. The fake stick-figure Bill. Yup, that one. The snarky jackass "Be Like Bill" Bill that wears a knitted beanie and stands next to dumb "poems" about your Facebook friends.

Bill thinks he's a funny meme, but he's not. The Bill backlash is real.

Who's to blame for "Be Like Bill" fever? A 23-year-old Moldovan expat named Eugeniu Croitoru who lives in Milan. He spawned that smarmy little runt late last year. His lovely creation, which auto-generates passive-aggressive (and flagrantly misogynistic) advice on how how not to act like a jerk on Facebook, has garnered 1.5 million likes so far. Yippee.

So, when you next see one of your friends share that smarmy stick-figure, just click on the drop down arrow on the right of the post. Then select 'Hide all from' whichever shite app they used to create the meme. You'll never see another post again.

You're welcome.
