Yoshie might be on to something, but she is picking the wrong format. If you want to do something like this, make a movie or a documentary. Make a website with Flash movies. Find a musical group to hip hop about it.

was originally named "Unarming and Stripping Americans of Freedom and Allowing Secret Cops to Intimidate Scapegoats and Minorities",
