When people say that, they are usually implying that a "correct" R-squared can 
be negative!

If for some reason you want to use an alternative *definition* of R^2, it 
should be easy enough to calculate it yourself, e.g. (if the proportion 
reduction in variance is wanted):

Y <- rnorm(100, 10, 1)
x <- 1:100
(var(Y) - summary(lm(Y~x-1))$sigma^2)/var(Y)

(comes out as -31 or so)
