ZOMG yes. WTF do they even mean it's sarcastic? How? That's the worst excuse for misusing a phrase I've ever seen. People, it's "couldn't care less." 100% that's correct, and there's no situation where "could care less" is anything but ******ed.
I mean I can imagine a spot where you're, like, discussing politics with someone and trying to explain your disproportionate enthusiasm for a ballot measure. So you say "Well, I guess I could care less about Prop 8, and just be apathetic like everyone else, but the fact is I'm passionate about it so I care very deeply." That makes literal sense, but nobody uses it that way, and since everyone uses it when they mean they don't give a sh*t about something, then it always needs to be "I couldn't care less about who won the Kings game last night. Hockey is boring."
