You should give them two weeks notice, but make sure it's in letter form. Put that same form in your supervisor's office without telling them. Two weeks down the line don't show up at work, and when they call you about it mention that you gave them two weeks notice and a letter stating as much. Mention that it's been sitting unopened on so and so's desk for at least that long.
Or you could act like an adult.

Some jobs do just suck ass, but I don't know if quitting one right now is a good idea unless you are absolutely certain beyond a shadow of doubt you have one to replace it.
Because if not, its really hard to get another one right now.

Wear fishnets and perform auto erotic asphyxiation in the bathroom with the door slightly open. That way you can collect unemployment after they find you and have to "let you go."
If you don't pull an INXS, that is.

Bring your dog to work with you, flop him on his back on your boss' desk, and milk his prostate into your boss' coffee.
Quit with a two week notice.
Poop in a coffee can, over the course of two weeks.
Take that can to work.
Hide it in a corner, behind furniture, opening the lid first on your last day.
Leave, but be sure to take a picture first.

I'm absolutely positive I have income to replace the "real job", hence the "because I can".
I work at a Kenneth Cole outlet, my co-workers are all the type of people who know nothing more than how to be oblivious to things that actually matter and are more interested in celebrity gossip.
I could rant about how the job sucks, but I'll save that for later.

Murder your co-workers, or if you don't want to go to jail................. Why can't I think of anything that wouldn't end in you being arrested.
I hate to be the voice of realism (cause realism just sucks balls sometimes) but you're best not to burn bridges unless you win a lottery or are retiring and never need to work again.
References can be tracked down, people that work in Human Resources... they hear things, they're not net-stupid. In my previous career it wasn't at all unusual for someone to have a gap in their resume and it often didn't take much to find out where they had worked and find out why they no longer worked there. It often meant not hiring them (and giving them some stupid ass reason why... because we can't really say that we contacted a previous employer without their permission even if it's done in a sideways backwards, I'll-rub-your-back-if-you'll-rub-mine unofficial kinda manner.)
From what I understand of American employment law, you can simply walk in and give notice that day. The United States has "at will" employment meaning that either party can cease the employment with no need for notice on either side (unless you signed an employment agreement that contractually lays out other terms - for example 2 weeks notice, which usually applies again to both sides).
Quit... go ahead and say whatever you've ever wanted to say to your co-workers, just don't piss off your boss or whoever would provide the reference. You never know if one day you'll need it... or if quitting in an "improper manner" might still be found out (some Human Resources people in smaller towns or cities actually have an unofficial list of blacklisted employees).
Yeah... it sucks to be the voice of reason... and it sucks even harder to act in a reasonable manner, but do give it some consideration.

Reason is boring.
Forget burning bridges, burn down the store, that way when they ask your boss for a reference he can tell them that you are the reason he retired early after collecting insurance on the building.

I've got lots of good ideas on how to quit your job in a creative and dramatic way, and I'm willing to encourage you to burn bridges, because, let's face it.. I'm not going to use all these ideas in my own life, no way. :)
You could quit properly, with two weeks notice and everything.. and then on the last day, pour melted wax down all the sinks. Of course, this was fantasized about while working in a restaurant, where there are lots of sinks, and a sensible method to heat wax.
Or there was the fantasy of my high school days spent working in a Taco Bell in IL.. just casually walking out into the sunshine and going to Mexico. We talked about it all the time.. then one of my friends actually did it.
Or you could just set out to have a good time getting fired.. pull an Office space, show up in sloppy clothes three hours late and act like everything is cool.
Or just keep working like normal and then one day when it really sucks, just go outside for a smoke break and never come back.
