Current TV

A cable network that’s business model is based on ripping off young, naïve filmmakers who are willing to work for very little, while delivering high quality, innovative content. This model keeps Current’s production costs absurdly low, while the rates they charge for advertising are absurdly high. And while they do not share their multi-million dollar ad revenue with the young filmmakers who make it possible to charge those rates, they do give them the chance to “share their voice” while “democratizing television.”

Film School Graduate 1: “Yo man, Current TV paid me 500 dollars for exclusive rights to that short documentary I spent five months producing.”

Film School Graduate 2: “Wow, your voice is really gonna be heard when they air it in random rotation at some unknown point in the future!"

Grandma Currency

Grandma currency is what you get paid with when you do something for your grandma. It is usually 5-10 times the amount of money you would get if you were doing the same amount of work for anyone but your grandma.

It takes you an hour to cut your grandma's grass. You would probably get paid about 10 bucks an hour at a landscaping company for doing that, but because it's for your grandma, she pays you in Grandma Currency so she decides to give you 100 bucks for it.

You: Grandma, I'm done cutting your grass.

Grandma: Oh, thank you so much. Here's a little something for you for doing that for me.
(Hands you a fresh 100-dollar bill)

Wikipedia rip current

Extending the metaphor of "surfing" the internet, a Wikipedia rip current is the phenomenon of browsing Wikipedia and getting side tracked for hours by clicking related links.

I got stuck in a Wikipedia rip current, I started reading about the civil war then three hours later I found myself reading about butterflies.
