From Wikipedia:
--
Darwinism is a term for the underlying theory in those ideas of Charles Darwin concerning evolution and natural selection. Discussions of Darwinism usually focus on evolution by natural selection, but sometimes Darwinism is taken to mean evolution more broadly, or other ideas not directly associated with the work of Darwin.
--

Notice that it states that Darwinism is slightly ambiguous, and is sometimes used to refer to the process of evolution through natural selection. So the usage of 'Darwinism' by the OP doesn't seem incorrect to me.

On a side note, there is the Darwin Awards that these people might want to try out for... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_awards]]>Mar 6th 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/padded-lampposts-for-distracted-texters-being-tested-in-london/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/padded-lampposts-for-distracted-texters-being-tested-in-london/
