Reverse Streisand

Share definition
A Reverse Streisand is when you feign an attempt to block or ban something in order to hype it - as opposed to the straight Streisand, where you actually want to impose censorship according to your own (aesthetic) idiosyncrasies, but end up accidentally making everyone talk about what you wanted censored.
Studio: "OMG! Someone leaked our great new title 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'! FBI is totally investigating and we are enraged!"

Interwebs: "LoL - they leaked it themselves! A classic Reverse Streisand move."

Origin of all that is evil in the world. As old as the universe itself.
People who listen to her music obviously need a good shooting.

popular singer, famous for her big nose. vain and egotistical. when Matt Stone and Trey Parker poked fun at her on South Park, every dumbass out there took this as their oppurtunity to pretend they've always hated her (or knew who she was). dont believe me? read the other definitions.
It was a good episode though.

The most hypocritical bitch in the entire history of human existence.
Barbara Streisand says she cares about the poor and the enviornment, while she lives on cliff one of the largest homes in all of California.
