Commonly abreviated as AP, the Associated Press is an American news agency run by the media sources that contribute to it. It is the largest news agency in the world and has subscribers (people who pay a fee to use AP's material) in almost every free-market economy nation in the world.
The AP is made up of almost 2,000 American newspapers and about 5,000 TV/radio stations while its photo library has exceeded 10 million pictures of news.
Although the AP tries to remain unbiased some occasional yellow journalism and personal biases are included in media information.

I couldn't help but notice that almost every article about a national event was writen by the Associated Press in today's newspaper.

Get the WSEmug. A corporation that controls MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, CMT, VH1 and many other media sources and is the root of all evil. A church in Iowa claims that all mentionings of Satan in their Bibles and Gospils were changed to read "Viacom" instead of Satan and no, it was not with white out and it looked as is Viacom was actually what was printing in the text.
Viacom, after gaining a substantial share of the pop media from other companies, is said to be brainwashing Generation Y (aka Generation MTV) into doing whatever they want them to do. TRL is a prime example of Viacom's workings. Several boycotts have been placed against the corporation and they're the slightest bit of light we have, without these boycotts we would have teenyboppers flooding UD with definitions of emo, Gerard Way and MySpace. Oh wait, we already have that. Nevermind that part. Anyways, just boycott the shit out of them and we'll be good for now.

Get the Viacommug. The past-tense form of saying that there was an "extramarital affair". Likewise, when someone learns that another person Billed the Intern they can say that they "Found the Little Blue Dress".
I felt sorry for the watercooler, it had to listen to rumors about how Jack Billed the Intern on Saturday.

Get the Billed the Internmug. The clique's picks are people who are chosen to run for an office (the picks) by members of an inner circle (the clique) typically in a school setting. These candidates often have no actual accredidation and simply win by means of a popularity contest.
The elections for class officers drew many qualified contenders but once the clique's picks joined the race an election wasn't needed.

Get the clique's picks mug. The Green Monster is the famous/infamous wall in left field of Fenway Park, home of MLB team the Boston Red Sox (why they still can't spell SOCKS right after almost 100 year now is beyond me).
The Green Monster is appropriately named at 37 feet or 11 meters high with its coat of green paint. The wall can be a make-or-break for entire games and even seasons due to the funny way balls bounce off of it and how left fielders play the bounce. Sox left fielders from Carl Yastrzemski to present-day player Manny Ramirez have learned how to play balls off the Monster and have therefore converted some amazing plays.

The view from the seats on top of the Green Monster was amazing but the best part of all was all the balls that were hit up there during batting practice, by the end of it there's about a ball per person up there.

The song serves not only as a satircal look on the judiciary branch of the US government but it also demotes the armed services for a good portion of the song. As the song was based on real events Guthrie really did get out of the draft by faking mental insanity at his evaluation.

Every single year it's eat a drumstick of the turkey, play football 'til you can't move your arms and listen to Alice's Restaurant after fiddling with the radio all day until you find a station playing it.
