Condemning Code


Since I just purchased my new house I am learning all sorts of "cool" things like the fact that a furnace can be condemned. But, this nice tidbit of knowledge made me think about coding as many other things do. There is a fairly common term in programming called code smells which allows opinionated coders (like me) to say stupid phrases like "your code smells." So, what is my point? It is I think we should start condemning code if it smells bad enough. Basically if the code being looked at smells enough it should just be re-written instead of trying to fix it.

What is everyone else's thoughts?
