War of The Worlds spoof could attract COD MW2 fans to watch HISHE?

I had a thought the other day while I was bussing tables at work.Remember the ending of War of the Worlds? Right towards the very end where the U.S soldiers use the "Javelin" to take down the un-shielded tri-pod?Well, despite the fact that I don't own an XBox or PS3, I do know that the "Javelin" is a notorious weapon in Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer.The weapon is somewhat a staple to the franchise, often times because "noob tubers" use the Javelin, and other weapons such as the Thumper, or Grenade Launchers to shoot randomly across the map in hopes of scoring an easy kill.My suggestion?Make a War of The Worlds episode next month (of course, after the Inception parody) which includes the same scenario with the soldiers destroying the Tri-pod with the Javelin...BUT, at that point, interrupt the War of The Worlds subject, and bring in MW2.I'm not quite sure how we could go about that...Maybe you could show the opposing team (probably Spetsnaz) getting mad at the U.S soldiers because they are "noob tubing" their tripods...then use a volley of sarcastic conversation between both groups-as Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning look on in disbelief...something of that sort?But using that as an effective humor tactic could very well boost ratings/hits in the future...I mean, who doesn't play COD nowadays? And who wouldn't be tempted to subscribe to HISHE after they incorporated such an awesome pun into War of the Worlds?Just a thought.

Example
I'm not sure if it would fit the HISHE theme but sounds like a good idea non the less.I made up an example script but feel free to add or remove things. Tom Cruise (eyes sparkle): Look! There are birds on the tri-pod! Attack now!Random Soldier aims javelin but before he could launch a texas accent officer with gun in hand steps in the line of sight.Officer: Just what the heck do yer doing boy?Soldier: Attacking the enemy sir!Officer: Is this how they are teaching you in the academy now? What's next your gonna use them grenade launchers' too? *Pats the grenade tube under his gun then spits*Tom Cruise (still sparkly eyes): Isn't that why you have them?Officer: That shows what you civs know of the army. A real soldier only use these weapons when the have no chance at hitting anything but look cool.Tom Cruise: That doesn't make sense! Why not use it? You could take it out easy.Officer: That's exactly is why we don't do it! But you don't understand so just get your civ ass outta my battlefield and go annoy some other civs! *Turns back at his men.* Allright boys! Charge!*Soldiers and Officer ran up to the tripod attacking its leg. It colapses on top of them.*Tom Cruise looks down on daugher who starts screaming madly when the tripod crashes. He looks up and says just to himself: Why did i even try to run? Perhaps mini scene:Tom Cruise's son runs up the hill where the army is fighting the still powerful aliens, yells what ever he yelled in the movie and gets vaporized by a beam.(Perhaps) Again daugther screams but Tom Cruise grabs her under her arms and throws here in to a vapor beam next to them.
