Eric the Midget Paradox

Noun: A phenomenon attributed to living things, usually persons, who suffer afflictions that would normally elicit sympathy and compassion, but as a consequence of repellent behavior instead attract denigration and/or hostility.

Derived from Eric the Midget of the Howard Stern Show.

Idiot Paradox

A theory that states that the more stupid a person is, the more intelligent they are likely to think they are. This is caused by their incredibly narrow perspective of the world making them think that they know a hell of a lot. For someone to understand that they are stupid requires a certain kind of enlightenment - that they know relatively little - that is unavailable to stupid people.

Therefore, it is impossible for a truly stupid person to be able to admit that they are stupid.
Did you read that book he just wrote? It's too bad the Idiot Paradox won't allow him to realize that it'd be better suited as a toilet paper dispenser.

Mysterious creature that is said to exist only if you don’t believe in it. But, if you do believe it exists, then it doesn’t. Tends to haunt students of logic and babies. A different take on the Paradoxotaur.

unemployability paradox

When every posting for a job in a given field requires several years of experience, making it impossible to get a job in that field unless you already have one.
Even Applebee's won't hire a bartender who hasn't worked somewhere else for at least 2 years. This is an impenetrable unemployability paradox!

L Paradox

When you hookup at a girl's place and she has a used condom wrapper next to her bed. You not totally sure she a thot because you know she uses condoms, but with that logic you would conclude that every girl who did not have an empty condom wrapper next to their bed was a total hoe.
Yo I banged this girl last night, no wrapper next to the bed; she's either total freak or my future wife...damn that L Paradox

spammer's paradox

Spamming itself may be defined as the abuse of electronic messaging systems, cybernetic or otherwise (including junk faxing, for example), for the purpose of sending unsolicited bulk messages. In order for spamming to succeed, a disproportionately large quantity must be delivered successfully to its recipients, or there will be an insignificant return. Unfortunately for the spammer, it is exactly that large quantity that renders any individual piece of spam less effective: the moment a large enough number of the same piece of spam is sent, the message becomes identifiable as spam by anti-spamware, forcing the spammer to start from scratch with a new spam tactic. This is the so-called "spammer's paradox".
Good example: the mass E-mailing of online pharmacy advertising created a spammer's paradox in many large corporations because it only took two instances of the same spam reported to their IT departments for the spamblocker immediately to delete the rest.
