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
Exactly as I ordered it. Shipping was perfect, got updates, accurate date of delivery, and no damage. This is a gift for my little brother.
i was put on a list for buying this mug. 10/10 would recommend
Great customer service and was a fun surprise for an inside joke to a coworker. 😊
Nice cup! Seems to be a quality piece.
This mug reminds me of when I was happy. When I was a wee little winker enjoying the wonders of this life!
The, "Wenomechainsama" Mug has amazing quality and an amazing definition! Can't belive my child's generation is so funny! Love - Sharen, 55, On facebook !<3
this mug reminds me of my cat, it does nothing and cant pour me a nice cup of joe. It is horrible, it doesn't tell nor does it allow me sip on it. It stops me from drinking from it, its like the mug is trying to torture me.
love this mug! Goes perfect with the Morbius meal.
Had no idea my name had a definition!!
Bought for an inside joke. Perfect.
i love the schizophrenia mug its amazing
This cute mug reminded me of a quote from an obscure biography I found quite by accident in a tiny hole-in-the-wall 2nd hand shop in Portland, ME in 1987: 'The Life and Times of Lazarus of Bethany'. Quote: " We are all walking wounded held together by the scars of our forbearance and the charity of our sisters and brothers." Truer words have never been said.
Love it . Its me down to a T
unlike most mug customization, you can say whatever the fuck you want. Bravo!
i liked that the mug had my name on it and a funny definition, i will definitely buy some for my friends(with their names of course).
I bought it as sort of a gag gift for my son and his new girlfriend and they loved it
I haven't even bought it, it smells nice
nice quality, vivid image
What's funny is the saying that everyone searched for is the one that popped up on the cup. So all the weird gross sayings that people are commenting on are completely out of context to everyone seeing their comment.
I would buy a morbillion of these mugs.
