Summo--interesting avatar--is that really the word you want?

"Furor":
a : furious or hectic activity b : an outburst of public excitement or indignation : UPROAR

"Führer":
(“Leader”), title used by Adolf Hitler to define his role of absolute authority in Germany's Third Reich (1933–45).

I suppose either would work, modulo the whole holocaust thing for the second one.

(Note: I'm Jewish. I have no problem with the second usage. I am also a liberal, left-wing academic who hates PC stuff. FREE SPEECH UBER ALLES!!! )
I used to use the term "Graphic Pimp" but "Pimp" is so over used these days that I wanted something different. So I did some research and I looked up the definition and decided that "furious or hectic activity, an outburst of public excitement or indignation: UPROAR" fits what I do, hence Furor. I did not select it to promote any anti-Semitic sentiments at all even though I did anticipate that someone might be offended.
