The bleached-butthole effect —
1. when a shocking, extreme and uncommon subject seems to be more prevalent and relevant than in actuality and receives disproportionate attention in public discourse, to the expense of normal but often critically important subjects
2. when some butthead exploits the bleached-butthole effect for profit, distracting our collective attention away from more relevant and important things, just so butthead and co. can make a buck
3. when the fourth estate promotes this drama, as they're in the business of keeping our attention, and distractions and theatrics are an effective means of doing so

On January 31st, 2024, the feast day of St. John Bosco, an incident in which a student pretended to drink bleach and spilled some on his skin and shirt occured. His friends were absolutely flabbergasted and told him to go to the nurse's office immediately, as he might get a bleach rash. The student was quickly taken home, and forced to write a letter of apology to his teacher.
