Slang for when a graphical display (LED panel, bit-mapped text and graphics) starts to display garbage, as in "The thing just went Cyrillic on me."

This app is a simulator of that effect. It draws random green characters on a black screen while making a delightfully horrible noise.
- Detect significant shock (e.g. dropped phone) and start app so people think the phone is broken
- More realistic text
- Alternate more to make it look like a snow crash
- Instead of drawing on a black screen, consider drawing on a screen-shot of the desktop/home-screen (or other previously visible screen state)
- Use actual Cyrillic characters
