Soccer sandal effect

(noun) - The over-reaching and yet inexplicably clever marketing gimmick of labeling and identifying a product (or person) with an often inaccurate, "cool-sounding", or "trendy" description so that the product/person, which would ordinarily be thought of as unattractive, unskilled, and/or worthless, now seems "hot".

See also soccer sandal.
"Super-star" Ashlee Simpson, "actress" Paris Hilton, or "TomKat" are three examples of the "soccer sandal effect".

Gal: "I love how Sarah Silverman stays funny and topical"
Guy: "Name the last funny thing that Sarah SIlverman did..."
Gal: "That Matt Damon song was kinda funny.. and that Mr. Show stuff.."

Gal: "Oh jeez, you're right.. The Sarah Silverman Effect strikes again."

Milano Cookie Effect

The feeling that one SHOULD feel satisfied, but for some reason they don't feel satisfied. Similar feelings are evoked by watching anything on Netflix. On the surface it APPEARS like the real thing, but a little bit of analysis it is clearly fake.
