bully state

A variation of the police state where a police force acts more as bullies than police. A typical bully will pick on people that he/she knows to have no problem picking on without fear of retaliation but shying away from "someone your own size." In a bully state, police officers have absolutely no trouble cracking down on truly trivial matters, especially "victimless crimes" such as: 90% of misdemeanors (MIPs, pissing in public, use of mild drugs, "open containers"), more than half of all traffic violations (speeding within the 5-10mph "cushion", running a yellow light, etc), however when it comes to matters truly relevant or life endangering, they hesitate to crack down or have a "protocol" involving a heavy bureaucracy that makes it not worth it

my house gets taken over by Crips but the police don't do jack shit! I drive with an empty beer bottle in my trunk left there by my MOM because it fell out of the bag of bottle deposit bottles? I get a fucking misdemeanor! This is no police state, it's a fucking BULLY state!

hollywood treatment

when a mainstream film producer adapts an original idea/story/novel into a film, but compromises many plot points for the purpose of making money off of the film to a larger more general audience; much of this is in dismay to the original writer who in the end has little control over what happens

author: aw man! what happened to my story? they ruined it completely! this man wasn't supposed to die! and what's with this love triangle?

onlooker: you got the hollywood treatment man!

Munchhausen

A baron of Bodenwerder, a small city in the area of Lower Saxony, Germany, between Hanover and Goettingen. Known for his dubious stories of his travels, from flying to the moon on a cannonball, to shooting a deer with a cherry pit for a bullet, only to find it again the following year with a cherry tree growing on its head. In Bodenwerder, you can see statues of Munchhausen everywhere, humorously depicting a part of his stories.

"As Munchhausen walked into town, the gate fell onto his horse, and sliced it in half. The front half of the horse continued on, while the back half was taken by the butcher to be made into meat. When the horse stopped to drink, the water spewed out his back as if he were a fountain..."
