For anyone interested, I recommend this interview with Clay Shirky which I referenced in the discussion:

That was my question (if you weren’t able to guess) and it inspired me to send the following email to deesnyder.com:

Call up Neidermeyer. Say “We want you to dress up like a Mullah”.

Film him walking around a Madrassa and have him see a Twisted Sister pin on the soles of the shoes or whatever of one of the students. Have him give a rant about the importance of proper praying, bowing, respect for Mullahs, and have it get more and more spittle-flecked and have him end with WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE???

Have the student stand up and yell “I WANNA ROCK!”

Then have the student turn into Dee Snyder and the students around him turn into the other guys in the band.

Redo, pretty much shot for shot, the “I wanna rock” video with Twisted Sister beating up the Mullah.

Put it on youtube.

I think that this could bring peace to the Middle East.
