Line 144:
* [[Cardboard Prison]]: Some prisons and jails are rather easy to escape. Tended more to happen in the pre-camera past or in the Third World.
* [[Casting Couch]]: [[Real Life]] examples abound from film to fashion and music (where it's more common now). Somewhat subverted in that unlike in fiction, where complying may well benefit the victim, in reality, the victim may very well get nowhere at all for his or her trouble, or end up destroying his or her career doing this for real. Of course, there's also porn staged around the idea with fully willing participants...
** In the #MeToo era? Invoking this trope, even fictionally, has [[Unfortunate Implications]]. It's a bit like a radio DJ joking about payola on-air.
* [[Casual Kink]]: In some places far, far more than others. If you're in such a place, you probably either are very aware of it, or don't even recognize it as unusual.
* [[The Catfish]]: The [[wikipedia:Wels catfish|"wels catfish"]], also called a "sheatfish". They can be up to 10 ft long (3m) and weigh 330 lbs (150 kg). They eat ducks.
