An organization one may think is a sad parody of the ACLU but is indeed a real organization that is the exact opposite of the ACLU. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) was founded by fundamentalist Christian televangelist Pat Robertson to turn the United States into a theocracy via the Supreme Court. It is currently run by fellow neoconservative Jay Sekulow and headquartered in Washington DC (next door to the National Pro-life Action Center and right down the street from the courts, no less).
It is a known fact that many students from Robertson's Regent University start their political careers by interning at this organization.

After the ACLJ sued my school district we were forced to say prayers to Jesus every morning before class. Fuck you, ACLJ.

A show on MTV profiling the lives of teen girls (all from either the south or midwest and all from working-class backgrounds) and how fucked up their lives become after getting pregnant. About 90% of the show's content features the girls arguing and swearing at their parents and/or baby daddy about stupid shit (shows how harsh pregnancy hormones hit) or breaking down at the stress of having fucked without a rubber.
This show is like junk food for the mind a la The Jerry Springer Show/Maury. It is to TV what cash4gold is to fine jewelers, or what University of Phoenix is to the Ivy League.

Private property is basically the stuff you, and only you, own but do not participate in using yourself though you get whatever benefit that stuff contributes to. For example, a factory is the private property of a factory owner, though the factory owner (boss) doesn't actually work within the factory and instead hires people (wage laborers) to work in the factory producing stuff, though the boss collects whatever profit the workers in the factory produce.
It is also know as "impersonal property" and is considered the defining part of capitalism. Anarchists (most notably P.J. Proudhon) and communists contrast private property with personal property, personal property being things like the house you live in, your bed, your guitar, your computer, your shoes, etc. which you are actively using for yourself and thus have the right to exclude others. Private property on the other hand creates an illegitimate authority and, according to them, must be abolished.

My boss operates an apple orchard on acres and acres of private property he inherited from his parents and hires us to harvest all the apples for him, and while he makes a great deal of money off the apples he pays those of us who actually pick the fruit $6 an hour, but he's able to because he owns the orchard.

Hu Jintao (Chinese: 胡錦濤) is the current capitalist dictator (or revisionist dictator) of China. Despite what many people will say, Hu is a communist in name only, as most of the industry under his rule is privately owned as opposed to state-owned. He has been labeled as one of the world's worst dictators by several publications and is known for implementing censorship of the Chinese internet. He is also known for continuing the practice of turning China into a place of sweatshops and not of people's needs.
Hu Jintao is busy chipping away at all the communist reforms promised to China by Mao Zedong. If Mao could see what Hu has done to China he would cry.

Known for funding many of the recent tea parties, the Koch Industries are a billion-dollar set of industries owned by the Koch family. They fund far right-wing causes and think-tanks with their billions all under the illusion that these are part of some grassroots movement.

Formerly known as "Full Sail Real World Education", Full Sail is another for-profit diploma mill. Usually, Full Sail guarantees its students an automatic way into the entertainment industry if they can shell out $50,000 a year. Unfortunately, no one takes Full Sail graduates seriously, in fact most people don't even consider it a real school.
I went to Full Sail University and all I got was a crummy piece of paper (receipt) that won't get me hired anywhere.

Stands for boycott-divestment-sanctions, a movement used to end Apartheid in South Africa and is now being used to end the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
The Students for Justice in Palestine club demanded that the college remove all Israeli hoummous from the school dining hall as part of their BDS campaign.
