Newsploitation 

The act of using a news story as a means to fill air time - seemingly more as a reality TV event then as an attempt to actually report "the news".

Typically occurs on day 2 and beyond of a major natural disaster.

CNN has devoted more than 100 hours this week to the tragedy in Haiti, even though the earthquake itself happened more than 10 days ago. After the first day of coverage this amount of live coverage seems more like newsploitation than news reporting.

nerdsploitation 

the exploitation of nerds by producers of nerd-oriented films, books, or television shows.

You know none of the actors or producers of The Big Bang Theory are nerds. That show is nothing but pure nerdsploitation.

nerdsploitation 

A particular genre of movie in which outcasts (geeks, dorks, nerds) are exploited either for humorous purposes i.e. to poke fun at the stereotype or as a vehicle for revenge .
The term was coined on the Babalu Bistro Podcast #3

I love the movies Carrie, Revenge of the Nerds, and Willard. I generally love all nerdsploitation flicks.

nerdsploitation 

noun

1. when an aspect of a game, show, film, or other media is clearly meant to be fulfillment of a nerd fantasy. Compare to blacksploitation, as this often involves nerds doing ridiculously awesome things, i.e., Peter Parker.
Examples:
-Edward Cullen’s attraction to Bella Swan
-The character Fela in the Kingkiller Chronicles
-The vast majority of female comic book characters
-The vast majority of male comic book characters (however, different kind of fantasy)
-Zooey Deschanel doing anything whatsoever

I wish nerd movies focused more on feeling both real and being entertaining than taking the cheap shot with mindless nerdsploitation.
