Warnography

Gratuitous movie/TV/Video game violence for its own sake, not pushing a higher objective or agenda. Think the difference between the movie Glory and your standard Chuck Norris movie. One shows graphic violence to show the brutal reality of war, and the other shows violence to glorify brutality and to stimulate a sort of jingoistic gladiator-spectator glee in the viewer.

Like pornography, but with violence, not sex.
"Did you see the Matrix?" "Yeah, it was warnography, but it was a fun movie."
