January 18th, 2012 - The day the web went dark.
The day that thousands of websites including Google and Wikipedia participated in a protest against bills (SOPA, PIPA) that would give the government way too much power in enforcing copyright. Many sites went totally dark, only displaying a splash page directing clients to sign a petition against the bills.
"I blacked out my avatar to protest against SOPA on Black Wednesday"
-"What's wrong with Wikipedia?! I have to copy it for my research paper!"
-"Dude, it's Black Wednesday, Wikipedia's closed."

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
