An entity that remains free to continue to do as it damn well pleases after being convicted of criminal activity that would have been a capital offense if an individual had committed it.

Whenever I hear the word corporate, I get the image of indoctrinated people working on bog standard computers within an eternal sea of cubicles. Each individual works continually with no expression. They simply do the job they are assigned to. They have no personal identity, only a corporate identity. Every aspect of their being has been conditioned so they are only compatible within a corporate environment. Every aspect of their lives is an extensive marketing campaign. They eat at McDonald's. They drink at Starbucks. They sleep on furniture made by IKEA. They are part of an entity which continues to destroy until there is nothing else, all for the sole purpose of generating profit. And somewhere deep inside these people is the underlying truth that somewhere down the line they lost their humanity, and became supporters of the institutions that destroyed it...

Someone who was once considered 'fun' before they entered the working world, but who is now 'boring'. Most often found when people leave university for an office job, shedding their enjoyable social skin, and donning a far less interesting one. These people obtain the 'corporate' prefix infront of their name.
Max used to "do what he wanted", but now, 'Corporate Max' is in bed by 9 and has no time for his boys nor shenanigans.

Something that doesn't really need to be greedy, but in reality, is.
CEOs in America make thousands of times more than their employees. In Britain, they only make about six times as much.
See that CD you just bought for $15? It cost about 1 cent to make it. How much does the artist get? About 50 cents or less per CD. How much goes into the laborers that made the CD? Well, seeing that it was either made by machines or minimum-wage workers (to assemble the case), the electricity/labor cost per CD is probably 5-10 cents. Let's round up and say it's a dollar total. So where's the rest go? Into the corporation.
The Rock Against Bush CD cost $7 (if you buy it directly from the producer). That's less than half the price of a typical CD. That shows that it is possible to have cheap CDs.
An ideal corporation always puts its employees before its executive office and always puts its consumers before its profit. But of course, none of this happens. We see people get laid off so that the exectuive's stock can go up a half of a point. We see goods that cost a dollar to make being sold for twenty. We see them exploiting the children of third-world countries.
Don't give me crap about how they want the job. It's exploiting, regardless of whether they want it or not. Since when do Americans deserve more rights than Africans or Chinese?
Oh, and corporations basically have the government and media in its pocket. Corporations buy the presidency through donations. Enron donated $114,752 to the Republicans and $102,050 to the Democrats. Then, when they're elected, the do whatever the corporation wants. Oh, and they control the media too. Microsoft controls NBC, Fox controls Fox news, etc. Liberal media my ass. It's not a liberal media, it's not a conservative media. It's a profiteer media. Meaning, anything that will get them a profit, they will report.

Damn, I hate those money-mongering corporations. It's a pity no one can do jack shit about them though.

For-profit organizations of people hell bent on sucking the Middle Class dry. Also they are things Mitt Romney likes to pretend are people so he can have their votes.
Corporations: "Yes, yes, we have our own private army working for us at Congress. They worked so hard to keep tax breaks for us, and refuse to let the tax break for the Middle Class to continue! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Mitt Romney: "Corporations are people, my friend!"
