cor-po-ra-tize -
kawr-per-uh-tahyz, -pruh-tahyz–verb (used with object), -tized, -tiz-ing.

1. To aid or enable or encourage the dying of the light.

2. The buying and or acquiring of a wonderful, naturally occurring idea, event, or concept (hangout, rock band local bar & grill) that appeals to a certain group of people, and most likely has acquired some notoriety; then sterilizing the life and soul out of said idea until it can be digested by the masses. Thus aiding in both programming and maintaining the illusion of freedom enjoyed by the clones and worker bee’s we’ve all become.
"Why can't I have my burger cooked medium?" said the confused clone, "well sir we can corporatize that burger for you, for your own safety and because the lawyers told us we had to, either way sir your getting it well done" the server explains while trying to smile like the lady at the DMV did.

corporate stooge 

A person who supports the position of corporations without considering how others, particularly workers, are affected, as a result of propaganda or being paid off.
Yo Denarius, that guy on TV who says Americans benefit from outsourcing is a corporate stooge. He ignores that many of these companies which are outsourcing receive tax breaks, and by sending production overseas will be able to dodge domestic taxes, thus worsening the budget deficit. Furthermore, Americans will now have to compete with the slave wages of the Third World.
