Californication

The process by which the American television and film industry, for the most part based in California, spreads their own highly sexualized, consumer driven, version of American culture that heavily emphasizes sex, violence, celebrity, and youth as both virtues to be extolled and goals to be achieved. Ignoring and often doing everything in their power to blur, if not erase, the dividing line between the fantasy of the cinemas world view and reality. This process has become pandemic with the proliferation of reality television wherein a person can achieve "Californication" without possessing any real talent but rather just the ability to make a fool of themselves on a world wide stage (See: Snookie)

The sudden popularity of this actress is merely a case of "Californication".

-A thing that is understood to be sold by Hollywood.
-You'll know you'll have acquired it when you believe that psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation.
-It is the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
-Tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication.

Californication

Embracing the superficial lifestyle Hollywood projects. Doing so often leads to valuing the fake, superfluous, and materialistic things in life over what is truly important. What every socialite in the City of Angels would have you believe is the one true way to live.
