CGI Porn

Movie genre first appearing in the 1980's where extensive or extravagant computer-generated imagery (CGI) results in a mainstream film that is akin to a sexually pornographic film, where the outline of the film consists of numerous sexual acts, tied together with a flimsy plot, often with comically bad segues. CGI porn, like sex porn is written knowing that the target audience does not care if there is a plot, as they are just waiting to masturbate during the next scene. Audience masturbation during CGI porn may or may not involve stroking of the penis, but is usually accompanied by similar vocalizations.

Can also refer to individual segments of feature films or shorts that were obviously written solely for the enjoyment of the CGI staff (aka CAD jockeys).

Tron (1982) and Last Starfighter (1984) were the earliest feature-length CGI films, but The Matrix is a much more definitive example of CGI Porn.

That new chair that looks like a turd standing on end,clearly must have been designed by Karim Rashid. He's such a schlock jockey.

Locafacturing

Making of products in a specific region or country, for use by people in that region or country. Locafacturing is typically smaller, but more nimble to adapt to changes in the market or consumer preferences.

The Half Acre Brewery in Chicago is a damn tasty example of locafacturing.
