Nope, I'm not buying that. It's simply a bastardisation for an already existing saying that has come into popular use (in just America it seems), such as "hold down the fort" rather than "hold the fort". You don't just liken it to another phrase that has an almost similar backwards meaning, when the circumstances are different. As far as I know "tell me about it" doesn't have a so-called 'correct' saying that existed before hand.
>> ^Kreegath:
"I could care less" is a correctly worded saying, though. Pointing to it as incorrect is not pedantic, it's misunderstanding how sayings work. "Could care less" means "couldn't care less", just like "tell me about it" means that you already know what's been said and DON'T need to be told about it. This particular idiom has been around atleast since the 40's, so it's no new phenomenon.
You could make similar complaints about phrases like "that's the shit", which means that the thing in question is amazing, but read literally it would appear to be likened to feces, which by most definitions is an unquestionably bad thing. It's understood, however, in the context of that saying. I'm sure you can come up with dozens of similar phrases that have a sarcastic tone, or are implicitly understood to have a meaning contrary to what they literally say.

Oh my god, he really believes this... not even the 9/11 conspirators are THAT dumb
Yes they are.
Hmm, you make a persuasive argument!
Thanks for the big chuckle.
