infotainment

A class of entertainment combined with journalism developed for 24-hour television news networks. Designed to instill emotional responses from viewers in between actual "interesting" news developments of national interest and importance.

Water-skiing squirrels, celebrity lawsuits, missing white-upper-middle-class-attractive children, or any other event that happens daily but is chosen (for one reason or another) to receive special attention from national news networks.

infotainment

When news is sensationalized in order to gain interest.

I get nothing out of the local morning news anymore. It has all become infotainment and impossible to get any solid facts on what's going on in the world.

Ignotainment

A variety of TV or internet broadcast that masquerades as "news" but is actually free of meaningful content or insight. Serves individuals who are primarily interested in thoughts they've already had, and information that fits into a small predefined world view.

Before the election I tried to have a conversation with Bob, but he watches so much ignotainment that he's now living in a reality-free zone.

Infotainment

A poor excuse for large television networks to fill up on-air space: an attempt to sell people things that barely work, things that they dont need and things that are quite pointless in today's society.

Dodgey American acting and heaps of photoshopping appeals to the emotions of many stay at home parents, the elderly or teenagers with access to their parent's credit card.

It is sad to think a television station exists that plays repeats of hundreds of pathetic commercials, 24hours a day. WOW.

1) "Oh my gosh, I am sooo sick of seeing all of this Infotainment on TV; surely they have something better for their viewers to watch."

2) "LOL at the people who sit and watch this crap all day."

3) "Shaun, why are you sitting here watching Infotainment? Don't you have anything better to do with your life?!"

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
