Effects in popular culture. Exhibit One, the Streisand Effect, which is
the widespread dissemination of information caused by an attempt to suppress that information. In 2003, when Barbra Streisand sued a photographer documenting coastal erosion to remove photos of her seaside mansion from his Web site, the pictures ended up plastered all over the Web.
There’s also the lipstick effect, the CNN effect, the NASCAR effect, and (my favourite) the CSI effect.
