Professor: "Let us now examine the Renata Effect. Notice how this group of five people were initially discussing the very interesting topic of the difference between a chode and a taint when one of the individuals aggressively hijacked the topic at hand, only to begin telling a mundane story about the rate at which certain traffic lights change."

if you'd rather not read a long and rambling novel, you can usually experience the Charles Dickens effect by watching Gilmore Girls: after watching it, you may find that you have the abnormal ability of speaking inhumanly fast and dishing out comebacks so witty and tactful that they should be against the law.

Get the Call of Duty effect mug.A role-playing-game originally exclusive to the Xbox 360 (now available for PC gaming as well). Overall, an entertaining and enrapturing game with an original plot and setting (which is sufficiently rare in any game with a storyline nowadays) Hours can fly by if you aren’t careful.
It probably could have been called "Mass-turbation Effect" also, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing at all. The game is chock-full of all manner of women with supermodel bodies. None of them are anywhere approaching "overweight" and all are wearing skintight outfits: Armor (aptly named "hardsuits"), medical uniforms, casual wear and spacesuits are all form-fitting. Even the Alien ladies sport a homosapien figure... Players can even choose to set the main character as a woman which allows them to stare at their perfectly formed arse whilst blasting their way through hordes of enemies on some of the most perfect maps to ever grace an RPG
