And for some reason, I thought this was going to be printed material (I imagined it done in the style of airplane safety guides) as opposed to a panel. Hope it goes well!

In reality, what I expect will happen is that a bunch of people who aren't necessarily the in-crowd will show up, laugh at the ridiculous behaviors but also silently realize “oh shit, I do that” on some of the points. They'll then carry this information in their head and help point out douchebag activity in their friends to help save them.

Most people aren't douchebags, but a lot of people occasionally do douchey things. These individual douchey things are the cobblestones on the road to douchebaggery that we can help demolish before they arrive at Douchetown, USA.

Like it's some sort of soft behavior control for the in-crowd. Do you think the people who really need to read this (aka, the douchebags) will do so? Or will it ultimately be something people who already maintain a suitable level of social tact will read and sort of snicker at, creating a larger rift between the people who "get it" and the people who "don't"?
