Outrage Porn - what is it?
Memes, news articles, TV segments, email forwards, or other forms of media that are designed to invoke outrage. This is especially true for political-related topics. Viewers of outrage porn often become addicted and spend many hours per day trying to seek new outrage highs.
Liberal: "The Daily Kos had some good outrage porn today. Apparently some conservative said something stupid."
Conservative: "I just read an email forward that said Obama is going to turn all of the white people into slaves and make us all Muslin!"
