What would be very cool would be to come up with something funny that would
have the chance to go viral on YouTube.

Maybe something along the lines of someone sitting around with 400 dollars
wondering what they can do with it.  and unstood of buying MS Office, they
download LibreOffice and but a couple really cool gadgets with the money.

Just throwing out an idea, it seems like viral videos not only get YouTube
time, but they also sometimes even make CNN's homepage.
