There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

It shouldn't be too hard to make an ubuntu livecd that looks at first glance identical to windows 7. I mean, the windows UI isn't particularly different from GNOME. Swap out the iconsets and change some default params, then rewrite some of the text. That wouldn't be much of a prank, though.
It'd probably make the front-page of Slashdot, especially given the long-running GNU/Discordian connections. Label the disc "Windows 7 upgrade", and you don't even need to bother repackaging any of the software - just don't explicitly state the difference between "upgrade to" and "upgrade from".
