Hate TV
1. Television that encourages viewers to hate, despise and fear "the enemy." George Orwell predicted the rise of Hate TV in his novel "1984." Usually found on the cable channels, Hate TV is the fastest-growing type of pseudo-news. Key characteristics include: - Scapegoating (blaming a small group for the problems of all) - Fear-mongering (raising the specter of impending tyranny) - Simplistic thinking (condensing complex issues into a few hate-filled slogans) - Truthiness (presenting rumors as established fact) - Repetition (to give lies the ring of truth) - Stereotyping (along racial, ethnic or religious lines) - Assault Interviewing (attacking guests who disagree with the party line) - Pandering (filling a studio with partisan crowds who will cheer or boo on cue) - Thematic Aggregation ("packaging" a variety of fears, prejudices and hot-button issues under a common theme) - Code Words (using substitutes for common racial slurs, insults, etc.) - Multi-Media Marketing (combining TV with publishing, radio, websites, etc. to reinforce the core message) - Narrowing (redefining the boundaries of "acceptable belief" to ostracize moderates) - Movement Hype (promoting a specific group of people as the only "true" Americans) - Event Manipulation (exaggerating the size, impact or diversity of a protest or political rally) Hate TV inevitably leads to greater political polarization, up to and including acts of violence against the perceived "enemy."
The Urban Dictionary Mug

As a Jolology major, I love my new mug!
It was for a friends 70th b-day. When we order it, it was going to come 2 day after the party. But we were so excited it came 3 days before his party. It was a big hit. Thank you.
I gave it as a gift and the recipient loved it. No indication where it was made, so maybe USA? That would be really nice, if so.
I appreciated the email asking if the content was correct. Excellent quality and attention to detail. Thank you!
its an incredible mug! i would recommend purchasing this awesome product!
Damonism and #Stolen Valor Coffee Mug These coffee mugs are rugged, solid, high quality and keep the liquids hotter, longer. The definitions of both mugs are spot-on! I will definitely by more. Great work Urban Dictionary!
why is this a real thing? AND YA'LL ACTING LIKE IT'S NORMAL!?
I really like the mug, but I thought I had ordered the all pink one. What came was a white with a block of pink with "Fubar" written on it.
the only reason why i care about humanity this mug is the reason why i believe humanity deserves a second chance, even after they blaspheme my name. this mug is the greatest thing i've ever seen and i have ordered many of them. this mug replaces the holy grail. the bible should've told about the wonderful deeds of the mug and how it saved humanity from my wrath. alas, whilst the laws keep me from tampering with human minds and altering holy objects like the bible, i can only pass on my message: "spread the news and buy this mug!"
Its.. omg, its............. AMAZING AMAZING OMG ITS SOOO GOOD
