First of all, I want to say, this is one of the most brilliant things I've seen in a while and I think is exactly the line of reasoning you need to pursue to make effective action in the world: Find a highly visible line in the sand that everyone can agree is bad, and draw a clear metaphor to a current problem to show why that problem is bad. Bravo to the creators. I came here to comment that it's interesting this story has gotten flagged off the front page immediately. A more immature mind would have jumped to "OMG! The NSA trolls are burying this story!", but in this case, it's pretty clear that some people flagged purely because of the title. It creates an interesting problem for the HN community, because (as a long-time hacker news reader) I feel this is exactly the type of content that would be interesting to most hackers, but probably least interesting to non-hackers who come here because of YCombinator's prominence as a non-strange attractor and just simply don't want to hear genitalia words in their news. I'm sure this comment will fall on deaf ears, but there was a Hacker News once that would have brook'd the eternal VC industry to keep his state in Hackerdom, as easily as a (hacker-king?
