I'm surprised that they made no mention of Mister Splashy Pants [0]. Greenpeace went through the exact same thing, but stuck with the funny name - which turned out to be a really good move.

The added publicity, at no cost to Greenpeace, gave it enough impact to convince the Japanese government, and the plan to hunt Humpback whales was abandoned in December 2007 Now that is a great result.
