Unoriginality
I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here for a moment.

I agree with the posts that say this QOTW is a bit on the unoriginal side, having been covered by several past ones - Revenge, Petty Sabotage, Terrible Food, etc...

...but what's left?

b3ta qotw has already covered a large amount of the really universal interesting/funny topics - the ones that everyone likely has a story on. And the questions are usually broad enough that they cover a multitude of sins - consider the number of reposts that are appropriate to way more than one question. For example, considering a few universal topics...

Bodily fluids - shit (twice!), vomit, blood. Piss seems to work its way in to answers in every thread.
Sex - loads of QoTWs. Losing your virginity, Not losing your virginity, Wanking disasters, First Love, Paid for sex. And more
Big events - Funerals, weddings, holidays, school sports days, teenage parties, christmas parties
People - Weird kids, teachers, police, jobsworths, nutters, relatives, parents etc.
Life in general - Films, music, jokes, secrets, confessions, pranks, ambitions, travelling and loads more.

I think we can all agree that there are still lots of good questions to be asked :) But would you also agree that a large fraction of the really good common-to-everyone questions have already been asked?

EDIT: Just to make it 100% clear - I am playing Devil's advocate for the sake of it here - I completely agree that this QoTW is unoriginal and there are a ton of better ones that could have been asked.

Oh, I dunno.
Just check the "QOTW" suggestion, note the bit that says "not had here before" and then search the many pages of excellent stuff.. Then WEEP at the repetitive unimaginative dross that we get week after week.

It's enough to make the serious contenders piss off and wanl themselves into oblivion.

Right after you've defended those who choose to sully a once-excellent comp, Why not switch your attention to backing Mugabe or McCain?.. they're not THAT bad after all...

Forgove any spellign mistakes.. I'm rather drunk: there's no way I could fuck your munm while sobre.

QOTW
I did say I was playing devil's advocate. I also said that I *agreed* that this question had been done before. I also said that there are plenty of cool questions to ask.

Indeed you did ;o)
... but Devil's Advocate is a Dangerous game to play when there's a bunch of poeple who're looking for witch to hang ;o)

Fortunately, I don't weight the same as a duck... so I should be OK...

...hold on, why are you all carrying those flaming torches and big bundles of wood? Is it Guy Fawkes night already?

then for god's sake
why do we never take it over and give ourselves a new topic?

The image challengers have done it before and we're smarter then them!

playing devils devils advocate
From my point of view rerunning variations on old questions does give us newbies a chance to post our sorry tales of woe

and, topic-dependant
the chance to post newer stories that may not have been around the last time a similar question was posted


does however, give rise to more terrible puns

Boycott! Boycott! Boycott!
Try saying that 20 times and working out what it means...

Why not just a massive ignore?

No one answer a QOTW and see what happens....
