Following the shoe incident with Bush in Iraq, press conference organizers are thinking of instituting new rules and manners. All participants will be asked to take their shoes off and wear paper-thin slippers. The measure is expected to improve the hygiene and ambience of the press room and make everyone relax and feel more comfortable.
Initially the idea was to ask participants to tie their shoes and hang them on power lines and phone wires outside the venue to give it western-style semantics but the fear this could be interpreted as a gangs-in-town sign or a drug dealer's marking made everyone revise and adopt symbolism-neutral Japanese manners on room hygiene.
I guess the most symbolic and heard-out-loud kind of peaceful protest to a future Bush-style US president, might be to hang shoes from power lines and telephone poles everywhere in town so that the message is visible from everywhere no matter what route the presidential motorcade will take to get in and out of town. It will be a spectacle to remember and the number of shoes hanging in protest a new Guinness world record countries will compete in!

...enteresting, bulls hit! We read heaps of words that accompany recommendations on the covers of books or on ads about books. What usually works for me is any line in the following 3-words spirit: "Read It! Twice!!"
What's the punchline or kind of recommendation that does it for you? Can you give an example?

Skype is currently free for a PC to PC call. What if a PC to a fixed line call was also made free and the cost of the calls was paid by ads?
Maybe it could work on a use-per-ad model, where the user makes a free call up to the amount collected for Skype 3.0 through the user clicking and viewing online ads.
