    Here is an idea: At the next big press conference a Donald Rumsfeld type gives, one where there is alot of suspense and the ratings are high, play a loud 5hz Brown Note. Not only would the whole room shit themselves, but since the press conference is live, the Brown Note would be broadcast to all the teeming millions watching who would also shit themselves.

    Oh the humanity!

    Unless of course - puts pinky to mouth - I get ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
