Sure. If the NSPs would just filter the bogon routes, nobody else would
have to bother. Why is it that they don't?

  Filter (public, private and transit) peers or customers...?  Or
themselves?
  I've had a few customers spontaneously (ahem) come up with remarkably
"Rob Thomas" configs (if any noun can be verbed, can any name be
adjectived?) -- I usually convince them to tone down the filters a bit. 
The funny ones are those who've signed up for a partial table or
default.  Then again, I suppose you can't be too careful.
