I'll be negative and suggest The Erebus Project.

Hmm.

"The Are we going to die (insert day here)? Machine"

or

The "Mass Hysteria Producer"

Anonymike's suggestions are cool, but maybe "The big unit" would go over better, of the two......Just for the BIG possibility of the chuckles it will bring from newscasters the world over. "And today The Big Unit fires off a...... This has been xyz news."

Edit, just thought of another: The "Microsoft Palin Simulator 2009".
