Perhaps someone should patent a process for generating 'do X on a computer' patents?

Or even "method for submitting a patent application over the Internet!" If you actually managed to get it, that might actually be stupid enough to get some legislation passed. At minimum it would halt patent applications for a while until it is thrown out.

That's actually not a bad idea. Keep making patents that are as stupid as possible in order to force a change in policy or legislation. Unfortunately the cost would probably make it unfeasible.
