There is plenty of real life markup which is about as bad, which rather takes the sting out of the joke (I usually like xkcd).

One example I mentioned in a recent thread was creating a two column table by using a paragraph per line, and a fixed with <b> tag for for the first column. I can provide a few more from my own experience, and there is always the DailyWTF for better still.
