As for a viral campaign:

A viral video is a video clip that gains widespread popularity through the process of Internet sharing, typically through email or Instant messaging, blogs and other media sharing websites. Viral videos are often humorous in nature and include televised comedy sketches such as Saturday Night Live's Lazy Sunday and Dick in a Box; amateur video clips like Star Wars Kid, the Numa Numa videos, The Dancing Cadet, The Evolution of Dance, the "Benny Lava" video; and web-only productions such as I Got a Crush... on Obama. Some "eyewitness" events have also been caught on video and have "gone viral," including the Battle at Kruger.

Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet.[1] Viral promotions may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, ebooks, brandable software, images, or even text messages. The basic form of viral marketing is not infinitely sustainable.

The point here is that you have to target the virus at a specific cell that is vulnerable to intrusion and manipulation. It's basically a war with memes.

For example:
You want to end judgement, you make a funny video about how the proverbial axe user has lost his axe, but blames the neighbours child for having stolen it, because he 'looked like it'. It turns out that he just misplaced it. However, nobody will watch this if it isn't really well done or funny or, and here is the clue, if it doesn't buy into some deeply rooted meme. Sex sells because the meme is deeply rooted, in my example thus you could want to take the meme of a spoiled child and catch the viewers attention by having the first scene filled with the child going bonkers. The viewer must judge the child like the man with the misplaced axe because they share the same meme.
This is not a great example but might get the point across.

I also think it would be more effective

Good point. One shouldn't be working on too much of a covert or sublime model here. Secrecy is an attribute of the dark.
