A thought:
The tone should be pretty pure, methinks. Amplify the tone, pass it through a 180 degree phase shift network, and emit a tone that cancels the offensive tone. It can be surprisingly effective.

@The Specialist :
Just because it doesn't turn you on, doesn't mean that all six billion people on this planet share your view. Human sexuality is more diverse than you can imagine.

You know, I think this is quite the turning point. To my knowledge, this is the first time in human history that a work of art has had to be euthanized.
For those worried about playing god: Yeah, we've been doing that for a while now. It's gotten old enough that we don't even bat an eye at how strange it is for someone to say "I’ve always been pro-choice and all of a sudden I’m here not sleeping at night about killing a coat..."
