Yes, I saw Jay Leno as a contestant once.
He's actually a damned good mechanical engineer,
though not much of a cultural one.

"It is clearly not enough anymore to liberate billboards, hack corporate websites or smash store-front windows for these are merely superficial wounds inflicted upon a deeply entrenched, systemic organism. They have even become a form of institutional rebellion; cynically sanctioned and even celebrated by the very entities these tactics were originally deployed against. So what next then? If not these, then what other forms of guerrilla action do we - as able culture jammers and indignant protestors - have at our disposal? I believe that the next wave of anti-corporate activism will strike in the form of an information warfare. The most successful campaigns will initiate and deploy viral 'info-bombs' that disable targeted corporations by attacking them at their most vital (and exposed) points: share value and brand identity." - Stephen Marshall, Guerrilla News Network
