There was a group of pranksters called the Situationists who more-or-less 
tried the same thing: they used surrealistic pranks to try and snap people 
out of their conformist POV.  I can't remember much about them at the 
moment (it's late), but a web search should bring something up on them.

was show the Russians a dead cat and ask them to explain it.'

"'That would have stopped the Soviet offensive right there,' I said.
"Zhukov would still be trying to account for the cat's death.'"
