Actually, that's what they said on Joe Schmoe, the fake reality show on Spike-TV, which aired a few years ago. When someone was voted out, the host would take the plate with the contestant's picture on it and fling it into the fireplace, breaking it into many shards. Then the host would say, solemnly, "You're dead to us. Please leave."
One time the show brought back a contestant, who had supposedly threatened to sue for a wrongful dismissal. When the plates with the contestants' faces were displayed again, this contestant's plate was shown -- still broken, but "fixed" with clear tape. It was so ridiculous ... we laughed and laughed.
