Random Sign Idea

So watching that sci vs spy thing I saw a sign of some sort that said "Press here if you think Scientology is a dangerous cult" and underneath "Thank you for participating in this anonymous poll"

I think it MAY have just been placed on some other sort of button, maybe a cross signal, but I was thinking how fun it would be to have a little box sign with a button and a screen. The screen would display how many times the button has been pushed (until reset) and we can have it out when we're down at Horton mainly to get a little more reaction from people. Just something fun to remember us by, you know?

Also puts a number on our supporters. Sorta.

What do you guys think? Any ideas on some devices that could be easily ported for this idea to work, or should I put my electronics knowledge to use and build something from scratch?

So I will update on what I've found, cause this idea really strikes me as neat and worthwhile. I don't think I'd have it done by spy vs sci but it could be used later.

So I found this electronics kit that lets you assemble a button that works much like digg (You press the button, another digg) and keeps up to 999 (cause of the 3 digit display). $15 bucks or $9 for the PCB and microcontroller leaving the other parts to be found (bigger LED displays, a corresponding resistor and capacitor, battery stuff). That's not too bad, really. Arduinos cost like $30

An SXB board might be cheaper, maybe, and it has a 6 digit display panel and its LED lights. You could program some sounds on it too. I have a complete manual with me too.
