Or just use your time and resources to do some good for those who are less fortunate in the first place. Using food of any kind for such a display is simply unacceptable (and BTW, in no way funny or cute) in a world filled with so much hunger, poverty, and despair. Indeed, such an activity will reflect very poorly on us all, notwithstanding any issue relating to the DNS.
I agree with Dave. Tomatoes or any other fruit is more of a fraternity stunt. It also involves logistics. Why not have everyone stand up and turn around and face the back of the auditorium while Verisign gives its presentation (and stand quietly)? It shows your displeasure and eliminates the chance that some hothead will toss his tomato. It also creates a great photo-shoot.
Sorry I won't be there. Regards, Hank
