Is the custom of using the word "me" as an object and "I" as a subject going away? I've noticed them being flipped a lot recently. Or "me" being used in all cases.

I wouldn't say its recent.
Its always been one of those annoying things where the grammar books say to use I in a lot of cases where the natural inclination would be to use me.

I'm trying to think of a situation in which the natural inclination is to use I as an object or me as a subject and am drawing a blank.  Can you help me out?

Generally when it's a case of "Soandso and I" people are likely to say "Me and Soandso" instead.

I was on television this morning;  one of the local channels, doing a thingy for pet adoption.  I was the one holding the cat that wasn't told HOW HUGE MY ASS LOOKS ON TV.

Why would the cat be told how huge your ass looks on TV?

Probably won't be;  it was more of a segue piece than anything else.  Probably not long enough to be worth posting.
