Wokus Pokus

The invocation of race, sexuality or gender to repel or attract criticism of a corporate product to raise its profile whilst lending itself a cynical veneer of virtue.

Movie/product/commercial created to cause controversy.

Social media backlash, argument and bad feeling raise the profile of movie/product/commercial.

Corporation tweets:

‘You just didn’t like the movie/product/commercial because you are a racist/homophobe/sexist/transphobe/gammon/nazi.’

Response:

Wokus Pokus. #wokuspokus

The New Yankee Workshop

The New Yankee Workshop is when you fuck a girl with the claw end of a rusty hammer , usually wearing nothing but a checkered short sleeve t-shirt and a pedophile like beard.Upon climax , you shove her face in a pile of saw dust.

Guy: Dude carol came over last night and she was so drunk she passed out in the garage.
Dude: Oh man what happened ?
Guy: Oh, I put on an episode of This Old House and gave her The New Yankee Workshop.
Dude: Yikes ! You're a sick fuck.
Guy: Yeah well you look like Ralph Macchio.
