In 1997 when Princess Diana died, my mom and I started a joke between the two of us. Whenever something was really obvious or overplayed, we would ask "Did you know Princess Diana is dead?" in a macabre reference to the fact that *everyone* knew Princess Diana was dead. We still do it to this day, and it cracks both of us up.
I think that the similar question today would be "Did you know a terrific no-knead bread recipe was printed in the New York Times?"
