You know if this thing were an everyday occurrence (not that I even watch TV) it would probably be annoying, but the nature of the Max Headroom broadcast intrusion was more comical than anything, and it's almost a shame that no one has done anything like it since. So long as the broadcast intrusion isn't violent, overly crude, or exceedingly long/disruptive I think it would really be interesting to witness something like this again (it's kind of amusing to think you might even make a sport of it, in very limited doses). Most of the time I understand why the FCC cracks down so hard on misuse of RF, but it's hard not to have a soft spot for this sort of gag.
