Some years ago a friend of mine was interviewed by a science program for 
some revolutionary work he was doing[1].  Not only did he set his office 
up to prominently display his Linux based PC on film but he left various 
images of the HUMBUG LUG (http://www.humbug.org.au) on the screen and 
around the office to try to get it on film too.  The editors managed to 
cut all of the references to HUMBUG out of the piece.  Oh well, I guess 
they were on to him :)

[1] On robotics IIRC - he's done work on revolutionary projects in a 
number of areas - very smart cookie.
