Emotional Detonator

An emotional detonator is a word or multiple words, image or multiple images, video, idea, or perception that causes an explosive and often irrational, emotionally based reaction that renders logic and sound judgment abilities immediately inert.

The media is notorious for using inflammatory headlines, doctored videos, selective and biased reporting as emotional detonators to illicit emotional responses from the ill-informed public.

Detonator

Taking a beer can, shaking it up and exploding it by the forceful slamming of said can against one's forehead. The real art of this game involves careful placement of beer can on forehead, force of impact, and splatter distance. Masters of this game value winning not only at detonating the can, but how far each half of the split can travels, number of attempts needed to detonate, but also making sure audience members enjoy the sport.

Did you see that game of detonator!? Dude, QuickStep needed only 2 tries to explode that can. He must have a forehead made of steel.
