Racketeering

rak-i-teer-ing

verb
To intentionally engage upon a topic or situation, either solely or collectively, of which may normally be viewed as, "objectionable," thus, reacting in such a way otherwise viewed as, "extraordinary," with the intent of the racketeerers' amusement. Racketeering is therefore, generally, a deviant behavior for the sole purpose of entertainment.
