Invite some financial advisors and have them make recommendations in front of a hidden camera. At the end of the interview, after he/she makes their suggestions, ask them why they would choose a managed fund with high front loads and churn rates. Get in their face about the expense ratios. Then point out the hidden cameras and watch them squirm. It would be a hiliarious parody and a great public service. I think you need to do a Dateline/Chris Hansen thing.
