the echo chamber
Public Relations slang for the tactic of repeating some fake factoid so loudly and so often that many people start to believe it. It is even more effective if public figures and celebrities are used in the echo chamber.
This technique was used for years to debunk those who noted the first signs of climate change.

Knuckles the Echidna
An extremely sexy echidna who is MINE and does not love Rouge the Bat. He gets really lonely guarding the Master Emerald so he gave the job to some random hobo and now lives to bug random people when he's on a sugar high.

the American way vs. the economical way
A sickeningly-glaring comparison of da wasteful nature of many of us "lucky duckies" in da good ol' You-Ess-of-Ay", as opposed to how much cheaper we could accomplish simple stuff if we just paused a moment and used our heads for something besides a hat-rack! Don't even get me **started** on THIS one...!
The American way vs. the economical way "just to change a light bulb" in your Christmas-tree string:
The American way: Freak out, then hop in your CAR, DRIVE to da nearest WAL-MART, BUY a 0%!$@#& ENTIRE PACKAGE OF BULBS, DRIVE back home, remove ONE BULB to replace da spent bulb, and then toss da rest of da bulbs in a junk-drawer, where it'll never see da light of day for decades, whereupon you'll sell it for a quarter at a yard sale! (Note --- extra points if you later discover dat you actually STILL HAD da small bag of spare bulbs dat originally came wif da light string! :P) Total cost: $11 ($8 for da bulbs, $3 for travel-gas)!!
The economical way: Coolly notice da burned-out bulb, then calmly consider your options... first, see if you might actually have a few spare bulbs around; if there isn't a small bag of dem in da box dat da string came in, do you have another light-string you aren't using, and that you could temporarily "borrow" a bulb from? And if not, just don your coat/boots, then take a leisurely stroll around town, looking for homes/stores dat use da same kind of bulb for their own light-strings; go ask these folks if they have any extra bulbs dat came with their light-strings, and if you could purchase one for 25 cents. Or go to da local thrift-store and ask if they have any old/broken light-strings in their rummage-bins dat you could buy cheap, or scrounge for discarded light-strings at da dump. Total cost: ZILCH --- or at most maybe fifty cents for da bulbs!

The Ecchi Effect
The Ecchi Effect, or "Beals' Law" states that for any given Google image search, provided safe-search is off, there is a high probability of at least one example of ecchi/hentai material included in the search results, no matter the obscurity of the terms searched for.
This effect has been attributed variously to the following factors:
1: The ubiquity of such material on the intarwebz, especially in bulletin board posts that devolve into chan sessions.
2: The fact that deep down you really wanted to search for "pre-teen anime panty shots", but didn't have the honesty to do so. Google knows better. Don't try to fool Google.
The Ecchi Effect can also be regarded as a consequence of Rule 34.

Person 1: "WTF!? Why did I get softcore porn images when searching for 'Cam Windows' on Google Image Search?"
Person 2: "It's the Ecchi Effect, man. You asked for it anyway, you've got safe-search off, don't try to pretend you don't want to 'accidentally' look at naked cartoons."
