Irritainment is defined by WordSpy as "entertainment and media spectacles that are both annoying and compulsively watchable."[1]

The phrase was recently used by journalist Declan McCullagh in his CNET piece on the Serin-dip-itous one, which described his blog in the following terms:

The tension between Serin and his so-called haters has led to an unlikely situation: the very people who loathe him the most also rely on him for a daily source of entertainment. The concept is sometimes called "irritainment."[2]

In response to this article, AdPulp labeled Serin "The Irritainment King of Sacramento".[3]
