Third Annual Movie-Plot Threat Contest
"For this contest, the goal is to create fear. Not just any fear, but a fear that you can alleviate through the sale of your new product idea. There are lots of risks out there, some of them serious, some of them so unlikely that we shouldn't worry about them, and some of them completely made up. And there are lots of products out there that provide security against those risks.
Your job is to invent one. First, find a risk or create one. It can be a terrorism risk, a criminal risk, a natural-disaster risk, a common household risk -- whatever. The weirder the better. Then, create a product that everyone simply has to buy to protect him- or herself from that risk. And finally, write a catalog ad for that product."

No wonder it took so long to publish my post...we were posting at the same time.
And my movie plot device will be Anti-Hedgehog Shinguards! Does it still count if it really happened...no matter how unlikely?
You need to invent or find some stats on hedgehog deaths. Perhaps worldmapper has a map for it? :]
