Personal success philosophy based on the observations that
a) any g-rated women-seeking-men Craigslist ad will be met with dozens and dozens of e-mails that are just penis pics, and
b) a "real" email will automatically be better received than the penises.
The wisdom of observation is that a little effort will automatically put you ahead of all the idiots. From personal finance blogger Ramit Sethi.

According to the Craigslist Penis Effect, wearing khakis, not sweatpants, to the fleamarket will make you super stylish by comparison.

The medias infatuation with a missing or dead girl because said victim was attractive, usually white and well-off.
Thousands of children, men and women are killed or go missing every day, however if it is a rich, attractive girl you will be forced to see and hear about it constantly until the only remedy is living under a rock or banging one's head into a concrete wall.

Yeah I heard about it, but don't expect the government or the media to care. Both those girls are from the projects..

Most prominent in the frontman of the Foo Fighters Dave Grohl (and thusly named after him), the Dave Grohl Effect is when a man looks far, far better when he has a beard. Examples of more people the Dave Grohl Effect works on are Sean Bean, Alec Baldwin, Will Wheaton, Martin Freeman and David Schwimmer.
"Hey, have you seen Joe? He's really rocking that new beard, makes him look totally badass"
"Yeah, that'll be the Dave Grohl Effect."
"Yeah, that'll be the Dave Grohl Effect."

Describes the phenomenon/process in which one person withdraws from a small organization or group (such as a band or superhero team) and is replaced by another person and repeats until the group is made up of entirely different people.
Such is the case with the Power Rangers, hence the name.

The James Bond Effect (also called 007 Effect) is a theory in propaganda and political circles, whereby the first detailed opinion/summary that someone hears or reads on a particular topic, is the one they are most likely to adopt.
Called the James Bond Effect - in reference to the James Bond character - as there is highly anecdotal evidence that the first actor someone sees play the chacater of James Bond, is the one they prefer (i.e. someone who saw their first Bond film in the 1960's will tell you Sean Connery played the best Bond, however those that saw their first Bond film in the 1990's will tell you Pierce Brosnan is the best).

Mike: Hey, John I hear that Dave got fired? You guys had lunch all the time didn't you?
John: Yeah, he was let go last week. The wierd thing is our Manager keeps going on about why he got fired - showing me emails and letters. If you ask me, that's just wrong - that's confidential information.
Mike: Well, that's the James Bond Effect for you. Management know that you will probably catch up with Dave sometime soon.
