Try applying lens correction in DPP or in camera. They should nearly eliminate this stuff. IMO, Canon has relied too heavily on the correction side and too little on the design side. It almost feels like they decided to take short cuts, but I'm sure its more complicated than that. Either way, they really have been relying on the correction to save some aspects of the lens design and optically correcting the stuff that can't be easily corrected for in body or in post. I hoped they would go away from this, but it appears that's not the case.

Like others have said, you can minimize the effect by omitting that kind of massive contrast between light and dark. Normally, it will even make you images better, as that particular transition isn't normally appealing.
