Hype Effect

Name: Hype Effect Mug
Brand: Urban Dictionary
Price: 32.95 USD
Availability: InStock

An effect which occurs when one is anticipating an upcoming game. The need becomes so great that other games become dull and boring in comparison. In more serious cases it can affect the viewing of television programmes, making them seem less interesting as well. In the most severe cases it can affect the viewing of pornography in the same way.

The hype effect is kicking in. Nothing is fun anymore. Not Netflix, not even Pokémon. I can't go on like this.

Hype: The Obama Effect

A right wing propaganda film portraying Barack Obama and his campaign as a series of lies and falsehoods. Citizens United, a "conservative research organisation" and an obviously unbiased source of information, makes their case against Obama based on his popularity and eloquent speeches which, in their eyes, disqualifies a man as the leader of the United States.

I wish Urban Dictionary wouldn't put up so many ads of immature political bullshit like Hype: The Obama Effect.
