Media slang for daytime television's target audience. Nicknamed for the segment of the population appealed to by commercials running from about 10AM to 5PM. Ads tend to be from industries like for-profit schools (ITT Tech, DeVry), personal injury/tax lawyers (Roni Deutsch, Binder and Binder) and car insurance companies that work with DUIs and tickets (The General, Cost-U-Less). Getting bumped to this timeslot is either the death rattle or a sign of syndication for sitcoms.
"Daytime television, you can tell who’s watching by the three kinds of commercials. Either it’s clinics for drying out drunks. Or it’s law firms who want to settle injury suits. Or it’s schools offering mail-order vocational degrees to make you a bookkeeper. A private detective. Or a locksmith. If you’re watching daytime television, this is your new demographic. You’re a drunk. Or a cripple. Or an idiot. "
Chuck Palahniuk, Haunted
"Jerry Springer just got bumped to the idiot demographic."

Anyone who is a member of a religion. Religion is for those who aren't smart enough to think on thier own so they believe in a book that was written 2000 years ago. They all filled with hatred.
Those religious idiots don't know shit.

The newest album by Green Day. It gained much attention from the middle school punk/goth crowd because it's first single, "American Idiot", was the only form of rock music played on MTV. It has also recieved recognition from trendy subcult stores such as Hottopic who manufactured shirts, pins, patches, and other various merchandise to promote this album. This lead to the subculture-seeking teenyboppers to go out and buy the album in order to rightfully own that uber trendy Green Day tank top they saw at the mall. This greatly pisses true Green Day fans off. And though it is true that Dookie and Nimrod are exceptional albums, I assure you that there is life before Dookie.
American Idiot sucks, go listen to some Kerplunk.
