capitalist exploitation 

Capitalist exploitation simply means the fact that after its commodification the price of your work force on the market is much lower than the value it produces.

Think about it this way: worker X in company Y is producing commodity Z (goods&services). But a wage's worth of commodity Z is created by worker X in only a few hours of labour. The value his work force is rented for by the capitalist is much smaller than the value it creates. The private person owning company Y (don't forget corporations are also legal private subjects) then

appropriates the surplus value created by the labourer.

Simply put: if a labourer creates the value of his wage in a very small amount of his labouring time, who then, is he in fact labouring for most of the time?

Not only does capitalist exploitation entail that most of the value that working people create will be appropriated from them, but also that their limited precious time on this planet will be appropriated from them.
Mark sold 100 fast food meals priced at $5 in 8 hours. In two days the total value he creates is $1000. Yet he has to work for a full month to receive a salary, a wage of $800. Because Mark in unaware of capitalist exploitation he believes he is reverencing a fair pay for his work when in fact he is labouring extensively for the profit of other people.

Sexploitation Noir 

a phrase coined by New York Times contributor, Richard Perez, in describing a dark subgenre of sexploitation, often exemplified by the BDSM inclined so-called "sleaze" paperbacks or pulps of the 1960s and the stag-like "roughies" or violence inclined pre-porn "adult" films and morality tales (also known as "cautionary tales"), which include the work of Russ Meyer ("Lorna," "Mudhoney"), Herschel Gordon Lewis ("Scum of The Earth"), producer David F. Friedman ("The Defilers," "A Smell of Honey, A Swallow of Brine," "A Sweet Sickness"), Mike and Roberta Findlay ("Touch of Her Flesh") and current neo-sexploitation films and books like "Run Bitch, Run" and Perez's own, "Permanent Obscurity: Or A Cautionary Tale of Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography, and Death."

Exploitation Now 

A very good adult-oriented webcomic starring a girl in her early 20's, who must put up with her perverted sidekick Ralph. It has everything your not-so-average webcomic has: lots of swearing (some of which is censored for some reason), sexual content, violence, and screwed up storylines.

mormon exploitation 

When a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints comes to prosthelytize and the one being prosthelytized feigns interest while getting the LDS member to perform helpful tasks.
Two young LDS members carried Patrick's luggage all the way up 14 flights of stairs. Once to his apartment Patrick quickly entered and slammed the door. And he though to himself: now that was some good mormon exploitation.

Frieda listened for 4 and a half hours while Josiah spoke about how The Church had changed him for the better. She really wasn't interested but really needed help getting her house cleaned for the party that night so she did some mormon exploitation.
