co-promo

media term for those current TV shows where wannabees or one-star celebs hoping to raise their public profile are encouraged to compete, be humiliated, bullied, or patronised on camera...

Great symbiotic relationship -- the media get hours of cheap or unpaid labour; everyone gets their fifteen minutes of facial recognition; one or two win through to big bucks...

'Jeez ! Yet another co-promo on TV... this time it's the Whiplash School of Cookery comp...but dammit, I love them all...it's so addictive...'

Urbanity

the sort of contrived, crass 'new word' based on some strained word-play, that has sadly become the norm on the Urban Dictionary...

'OK, what's the latest feeble, tortured Urbanity to show up onscreen today? What happened to real gritty slang ? Why has this site become a teenage playground ?'
