An American censorship board called Standards and Practices (also referred to as Department of Prudish Intent) is the name traditionally given to the department at a television network which is responsible for the moral, ethical, and legal implications of the program that network airs. Standards and Practices also ensure fairness on televised game shows, in which they are the adjunct to the judges at the production company level. They also have the power to write-up and suggest to fire TV network stars and employees for violations of standards and practices. The Department of Prudish Intent takes things too seriously and also censors minor things.

I mean, it's kind of self explanatory. The HSPVA piano department is a branch of the instrumental department at Kinder HSPVA, located in Houston Texas. they literally do one thing and one thing only, play piano.

(US GOVERNMENT) Cabinet level position created by the Bush Administration in 2003. One of the most costly and poorly executed reorganizations in US history, it essentially blew hundreds of billions of dollars on unrelated and pointless government projects intended to reward members of congress who sided with the president.

The Department of Homeland Security was created to bring most federally-controlled law enforcement bodies into one single, union-free, whistle-blower-free, department. Riders to the Homeland Security Act cost taxpayers billions in useless programs.

The worst police department, EVER!!! They don't do shit about the heavy crime in Oakland. It takes forever for them to show up after you report a crime. 69% of all the homicides in Oakland are never solved. They sit around and do nothing whatsoever, but they still collect overtime pay just for working a late night homicide. They're known for police brutality and the "Oakland Riders" incident. Look it up so you know what I'm talking about. As I type this up someone is probably getting shot or shot at and the O.P.D. are doing nothing.
Cop 1: Well he is most definitely dead...
Cop 2: We should harass innocent people and the community to try and get someone to tell us who did it.
Cop 1: I honestly don't care. I mean, we make about $98,000 a year. We shouldn't even try. The case might not get solved anyway.
And this is why Oakland Police Department ain't shit...

Jesse Ventura: I'm not going to have no wimpy Secretary of Defense. *I'm* going to have a Secretary of Offense, in the Department of Kicking Butt.

Perhaps the most fucked up academic institution in the world. Professors have free reign to verbally and emotionally constantly insult their students and make their lives hell. Basic human rights such as sleep and food become a luxury to a student in chemistry at Montana State University. Often students are forced to down massive amounts of caffeine and riddilin to keep up. Typical masters degrees take 4-6 years to obtain and PhDs typically take 6-9 years.
The Chemistry Department - MSU is hell
