Cyber Graffiti

Posts on message boards are just cyber graffiti, which eventually just slide off the bottom of the page.

ghetto tourist

A popular singer or entertainer, who affects a manner, lifestyle, or the speech of someone from a deprived or oppressed background, in an attempt to be considered more "street." When in fact they had a middle class or privileged upbringing.
Both Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen are ghetto tourists.
Amy thinks she's Billie Holiday reincarnated, but she was born in a North London suburb, went to an independent school and the Sylvia Young stage school, any "tragedy" she's endured she's manufactured for herself.

Lily Allen tries to give the impression when she sings that she's really a Cockney.
She was born in Hammersmith and raised in Islington, a pleasant London suburb. Her father is an actor, her mother a film producer. She attended a number of private schools in the better parts of London, including one Prince Charles attended.

playing the gay card

Entertainers in the public eye, who increasly advertise their particular sexual orientation in public, the more popular they become, are "Playing the gay card."
John Barrymore, who formally was not widely known as a homosexual now uses many opportunities to advertise the fact. He is often "playing the gay card."
Such people and there are many, must have previously believed that their sexual orientation may have been a hinderance in their careers. In reality, it hardly makes any difference to the general public who aren't that bothered. But continual reference to it gets boring.

All Arsene Wenger

The practice of deliberately saying you did not witness any controversial incident, just to avoid either further discussion, or any involvement.

In post match TV interviews, whenever Arsene Wenger the manager of Arsenal Football Club is asked about a controversial incident, where say one of his players committed a bad foul, or handled the ball for which the referee didn't award a free kick, he always says; "I didn't see it."
Despite it happening immediately in front of him, when asked by the police if he'd witnessed the accident, the driver went "All Arsene Wenger."

passive viewing

Passive viewing, watching TV programme or parts thereof, not of your choice to which you've been "exposed."
It is passive viewing if you are watching a television programme you don't particularly want to see, either because you've caught a part of it while changing channels, or by selecting the wrong channel.
Suffering a programme because you are in the company of someone who wants to watch it is passive viewing.
