the History Channel effect

Dumbing down a prestigious and serious scientific publication, website, or channel in order to appeal to the uneducated masses, cut the budget, and get higher ratings.

Have you seen the new National Geographic about ghosts? It got the History Channel effect, man.

homebrew channel

an awesome softmod made by hackwii that allows you to run apps such as emulators, music players, dvd players, and even games burnt to a disk. at first the twilight hack was needed to download it (which is a modified zelda save file) but with the wii menu 4.2 update, that doesn't work and you now have to use smash stack (which is a glitch in customers stages in super smash bros. brawl) the homebrew channel ca also be used to downgrade your wii to previous system menus, but this is highly discouraged for it can brick your wii if you accidentally update it.

person #1: you gonna get the homebrew channel?

person #2: i don't know can't it mess up your wii?

person #1: the chances are very low and if you didn't update to 4.2 it is almost impossible!! you don't even have to open up your wii which means its still under warranty. the best part is all you need is super smash bros. brawl, an sd card, an internet connection, and a wii (of course)
person #2: wow that sounds great!

Chawner

A fat, lazy, benefit-seeking bludger.

Obese family say benefit insufficient to feed their gluttony. Pack of chawners!

History Channel

A once respected cable channel. Many years ago it was a serious source of historical information and now it is Reality TV, Pseudoscience, and Pseudohistory. Actual history has been abandoned for ratings.

I learned everything I know about History from the History channel. I learned that aliens helped humans build the Pyramids, The Bible contains a secret code which can be deciphered using a computer, monsters are real, and Nostradamus predicted 9/11.
