Corporation Tactic

A tactic which is performed by a corporation to deliberately put a problem into one of their products under the consumers nose in the hope that month's later the purchaser of the product will have to send it back for repairs thus giving the corporation more money due to fixture payments. This move has most recently been made famous by The Red Ring of Death on Microsoft's Xbox 360
"God Damn it, My 360 got the E74 error! Don't tell me I've gotta spend more bucks for a problem that Microsoft already know is happening!"

"Dude, Don't ya know? It's just another Corporation Tactic!"

Corporate Punk

Corporate Punk describes punk bands or punk fashion brands created by corporate businesses that are more interested in making money than spreading a message.

Corporate Punk bands attempt to stay as apolitical as possible to be appealing to everyone. They make songs about empty anger, trying to put on a fake persona of anger without having any real opinions or thoughts in their songs. Corporate Punk bands may also be industry plants.

Corporate Punk fashion brands describes a brand making clothes with super cheap fabric and making the item super expensive. It's extra corporate punk-ish if the item is made poorly to look DIY, but still costs 50$.

Synonyms for corporate punk include; industry plant (for bands), poseur, poor mouth, and capitalist punk.
Marty: Dude, these clothes are made with such cheap fabric! Why are they so expensive?

David: It's Corporate Punk, Marty. It's just like that.
Marty: I guess that explains why it looks like something the Tramp Stamps wore during their mall goth phase

Corporate Necromancy

When the big comic book publishers continue the life of a character by bringing them back from the dead in order to continue making a profit off the marketing of new stories involving the character and associated character goods.

This is sometimes known as comic book continuity, but Corporate Necromancy is a more expressive word that deals with the bringing of characters back from the dead as a way of rebooting a comic book series to return things back to the status quo.

Manga, or Japanese comics, can also sometimes be accused of Corporate Necromancy when characters die and are brought back, such as with Dragonball and Dragonball Z.

A comics editor who is notorious for bringing commerically successful characters back from the dead in order to exploit their lives financially is called a Corporate Necromancer.
1: Bringing back Aunt May in the Spider-Man comics was sheer Corporate Necromancy!

2: Man, I hate them Corporate Necromancers who brought *insert comics character* back from the dead, leave them alone!
