The principle of never letting a good tragedy go to waste. Derived from Rahm Emanuel's quote "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
"After the shooting, gun control advocates tried to get assault weapons banned. Rahm's Law in action, people."

Get the Scoobs Lawmug. Any act, when done by at least two bros, must be immediately replicated in the exact same fashion by all other bros in attendance. There are no exceptions, and this act should usually be either eating a disgusting food or performing a gratuitously idiotic and/or homoerotic act.

Get the Scrump's Lawmug. Those friends you HAVE to be friends with out of respect for someone you actually do like (especially your spouse). You see them at parties you don’t want to go to, you invite them to your parties and they don't bring anything, they friend request you, they ask you personal questions, they tell eveyone you are really good friends, you secretly hope they get a new job out of the country.
"So-and-so, or one of my friends-in-law, just showed up. After he gave me the half empy bag of chips he brought to share he asked me how our bankruptcy was going. Don't tell him personal sh*t and don't invite him anywhere ever again."

Get the Friends-in-Lawmug. No matter how obvious a joke or parody is, at least one person will eventually take it seriously.
Cole's Law is the extreme of Poe's Law, where a parody without clear intent is indistinguishable from actual extremism.
The name is a pun on "coleslaw", making the term itself a meta-example.

"It's not my fault that I took it seriously. Haven't you heard of Poe's Law?"
"Oh yeah, well have you ever heard of Cole's Law?"
"Yes, it's delicious."
