It's for real.
◊ If you search for the Japanese phrase on google.co.jp, you'll find tons of articles talking about it. Here's an example.
Good on you for checking, though!

On the YMMV page of Battle Tendency, I found this Memetic Mutation entry:
Ahh! Sto-sama is dead!/あーん!スト様が死んだ! : Tankobon releases of the manga used to have a section for fan-submitted art. One of the pieces chosen was of the slightly unhinged artist bawling on Straizo's chest at the end of the volume in which he dies. Likely kicked off because of the hilarious Fangirl Self Insert going on, and goes to show you that Estrogen Brigades as we know it (and the Draco in Leather Pants aspect of Fan Dumb for that matter) predate the Internet by a loooooong shot.
Nonetheless, a quick search yielded nothing, and now, I am starting to suspect that it does not actually exist.
