Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If someone shines a laser beam directly into a digital camera and takes a picture, if you look at the picture with your monitor's brightness on maximum you can be blinded.
Lose the maxiumum monitor brightness -- you don't ever want to count on people to change the defaults. Also, it needs the internets-will-eat-your-babies quality and the some-guy-my-cousin-knows hook. Revise to:
A guy named Joe in Ypsilanti shone a laser pointer at his digital camera and took a picture, and then everyone on earth who looked at the recently posted page on Flickr went blind all at once.

This is totally true! My sister's neighbor knows the guy!
P.S. Forward this to everyone in your address book or you'll go blind too.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Lose the maxiumum monitor brightness -- you don't ever want to count on people to change the defaults. Also, it needs the internets-will-eat-your-babies quality and the some-guy-my-cousin-knows hook.
Good points.

If I had more motivation I'd totally try to spread this over the internet.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
What the laser story needs is the "news media cred" angle. Something like...
"According to a story in the Ypsilanti Courier, Michael Dortmunder, 22 years old and a photography student at a local university, shone a laser into a digital camera and took a picture as part of an 'experimental photography' course section. Upon viewing the results on a monitor in the computer lab, however, he was immediately struck blind, as were two unnamed students who attempted to help him."
