consumeroid

Consumer android. People who buy products as they are told, like robots. The life forms that dwell in the aisles at Walmart. Also can stand for Consumers with Hemorrhoid. Those are the life forms on their way back from Walmart. The ones that get in front of you in the left lane going 50.

I want to thank all the consumeroids for my new yacht.
Hang up the phone and get out of my way, you damn consumeroid!

Fundamentalist Consumerism 

a term coined by Bruce Levine to describe the mindset of a group of people who "are singularly attached to cheap stuff."

The term describes a culture that "creates increasing material expectations" that often can not be satiated, "devalues human connectedness," "socializes people to be self-absorbed and selfish," "obliterates self-reliance," "alienates people from normal human emotional reactions" and "sells false hope that creates more pain."

Fundamentalist Consumerism is demonstrated en-mass on every Black Friday. On Long Island, NY in 2008, Wal-Mart employee Jdimytai Damour was trampled to death by customers stampeding into the store when the doors were opened. Police attempting to clear the scene were met with hostile reactions from customers, some insisting that they "had been waiting in line since yesterday morning" to get into the store. Fundamentalist Consumerism devalues all life in pursuit of 'stuff.'

consumerism 

1. The practice of conspicuously buying flashy, expensive items and expecting them to fill the voids in one's life.

2. A pejorative used to malign people who enjoy material luxuries, implying that it's impossible for a person do so without having an unhealthy fixation on them. Usually used as a sour grapes excuse to hate people who can afford more luxuries than one's self.

1. "Tiffany keeps spending all of her money on expensive designer clothing. When will she realize that it's personality, not consumerism, that wins friends?"

2. "Ugh, did you see Ted's new BMW with heated leather seats, a GPS navigation system, and a 6-disk CD changer? Anyone who would buy luxuries is obviously a disgusingly shallow and materialistic consumerist."

consumerism 

A seriously over-rated form of modern day cult of commerce, whereby people buy goods. This has led to a rise in needless temptation as well as popular culture, which in turn results in mindless youths sinking into the morass of peer pressure and attention-seeking behaviour, all for the name of cold, hard cash.

Otherwise, a desirable practice.

Humans think consumerism is the key to a better life.
