Do you have the skills to do a virtual, computer version of a push button via mouse click Tommy doll that talks? Clip the audio from a few youtubes of Tommy, perhaps 12 or 15 of his best lines, and, in addition to playing one per mouse click and doing some head bobbling while he is talking, the last step before the virtual Tommy doll goes silent would be to randomize for the next selection, just to keep it interesting. I believe it has the potential to go viral ... especially if it is picked up by WWP and the Villiage Voice.

Sooooo cool!
Thank God I don't know how to do web-based video, animation and editing, because I would be tinkering all day turning out mini-spoof films on Scientology. LOL.
But, I think there is a web-based link where you can throw up the static image and insert your own (or an actor's) mouth talking, saying the words. It gives a real (live-action) feel to it when the mouth-teeth-lips-tongue shape and articulate the words! Very funny stuff.
If they were reduced down to emoti-con size (with Tommy's head) a whole array of them could end up bring used to punctuate messages and posts. For example, someone is posting about their jealous boyfriend who doesn't let her go out with the girls to party. INSERT TOMMY-CON: with click-audible: "He's the whole track prison warden!!!"
