The first definition is all wrong. May Day (or Mayday) is actually an anarchist and labor holiday, the true labor day, and has nothing to do with state communism.
The story of May Day:
In early May of 1886, anarchist and labor activists rioted in Haymarket Square in Chicago in the name of winning an eight-hour workday. During that time, most capitalist bosses required their workers to work for 14 hours a day with little breaks or days off. During the riot, someone threw a bomb. Five anarchists were accused of bomb-throwing or a conspiracy to do such and were tried, later convicted, and hanged. May Day became a day to remember their sacrifice as well as the sacrifices of all laborers who must work under the conditions of wage slavery.

During May Day, the anarchists, labor unionists, and immigrant groups held a large rally in the middle of the city to show solidarity.

Get the May Day mug.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.

Get the Koch Industries mug.Christian university started by televangelist Pat Robertson. Originally called "CBN University" (interestingly named after the TV channel), the goal of this institution is to turn out Christian Neoconservative drones in hopes of putting them into positions of power (such as in DC, Hollywood, news media, etc.). This became apparent after the Monica Goodling scandal, which revealed hundreds of Regent grads working in the Bush Administration. Most of the classes at Regent focus on applying right-wing Christian ideals to politics, law, and the media.
Regent considers its law school to be better than that of Harvard, yet it is so poorly ranked it's a joke. A degree from Walden University will get you more job opportunities than a degree from this place. It is ranked lower than a ttt and its students' reviews are even worse. However, the people at Regent know this, which is why they create massive amounts of propaganda to make the school look better than it is. They like to brag about beating Harvard Law students in competitions, but when it comes to who gets the better careers after school, Regent alumni can hardly get up there.
By the way, John Ashcroft is now a Regent faculty. That alone should make you think.

Marty: I'm going to UPenn. Where are you going?
Timmy: Sucks. My parents are making me go to Regent University, because they think if I go anywhere else I'll turn into a dirty liberal hippie who wears keffiyehs and protests capitalism.
Marty: Man, that really blows.
Timmy: Yeah. They want me to be a lawyer, so they tell me I have to stay at Regent for law school, too.
Marty: Well, good luck working McDonald's for the rest of your life.

Get the Regent University mug.A business disguised as a school that uses spam as a means of luring in new unsuspecting customers. This diploma mill uses many sneaky advertising tactics, such as coming up as the first result in google search when typing in "university of", TV ads featuring sensationalized stories and fast-paced music, and a YouTube channel that features their "success stories" and that blocks any user that posts anything remotely critical of the school in their videos' comment sections. According to several accounts on the internet, most classes at UoP consist of nothing remotely useful. If one is able to get a job after graduating from here and pay off the $200,000 they owe in loans, they are truly lucky.
Rob didn't want to go to community college so he enrolled at University of Phoenix and found himself shelling out $50k a year to learn absolutely nothing.

Get the University of Phoenix mug.A well-known diploma mill located in Colorado, famous for being the alma mater of creationism activist Kent Hovind. The school has never been accredited by any accreditation institution and even claims it has no wish to be. The school sells degrees in such far-ranged topics as Christian education and missionary studies. The main classroom building resembles a trailer park home. In order to get into this school, all you need is a checkbook and a pen.
Erica couldn't get into Regent University since her high school GPA was a 1.04, luckily she got into Patriot Bible University.

Get the Patriot Bible University mug.Barack Obama: Shit, the White House is all out of TP.
George W. Bush: Ever tried the GENEVA CONVENTION? It's real good stuff.
Barack Obama: Thanks! Where'd you find this?
George W. Bush: I used it to wipe my tushy every day when I was in the White House. See how good it turned out?

Get the Geneva Convention mug.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.
