A term referring to the amount of advertisement that any one object or media receives in an inverse proportion, also known as the Law of Inverse Advertising. Where in due to budget constraints of any project the amount spent to advertise must ultimately take away from the quality of the product itself. This can be seen mainly in film and television.
"Have you seen the that trailer for the new Sci-Fi movie? It looks good and I see ads for ever everywhere."

Person 2: Thats just the sort of talk i expect from a zionist sheep.

When you are paddling out to the take off zone, there will inevitably be a huge set of waves that breaks on your head and insures that you will be exhausted and demoralized.
First Corollary of Surfy's Law: When you finally make it to the line-up after paddling through a set, there will be no sets of waves breaking that you can catch or ride.
