Seriously, let's drop the Hay's code.

I fully support this.

I personally think any sort of behind the scenes code restricting ones creative urges and ideas especially relating to media is a bad idea on principle, no matter how you slice it.

If show writers who see this could be inspired to be original and creative instead of pushing the same old tropes over and over, that would be great. -after all, like any of these tests, or like Oulipo fun rules, they're free to take them or not, but it would make it heaps better.
