This is a fun forum game that in theory should require a little more critical thinking than your average shoutbox conversation. "Scenarios from hell" are scenarios that are usually no win situations, politically incorrect, or technically unfeasible. Your mission should you choose to accept is to beat the odds and come up with ways to beat the scenario put before you.
Gameplay is simple:
I'll start by posting the first scenario.
Player A responds with their way to beat the scenario and posts another scenario that they come up with.
Player B responds to Player A's scenario and then post his own scenario.
...etc
Here are some examples of scenarios from hell:
-Solve the Great Depression in four words or less.
-A disassembled Howitzer lays on a desk before you. Beside it is an assembly manual written in machine code. In ten minutes a ravage Bengal tiger will come into the room to kill you. How do you survive?
And now the first scenario:
Soothe an angry horde of albinos using a language that is not related to German, Latin or Hebrew.
Use your soothing voice to sing in a gibberish language to relax them. That, or show them your breasts.
-Solve the Great Depression in four words or less.
-A disassembled Howitzer lays on a desk before you. Beside it is an assembly manual written in machine code. In ten minutes a ravage Bengal tiger will come into the room to kill you. How do you survive?
Kill all poor people.
Block the door with the disassembled Howitzer parts.

You're supposed to come up with the next scenario.

Oh, sorry.

Find the IP of the server(s) that host SEN. Using a server management utility such as ipmitool, turn off the server(s) by typing something like the following into any terminal connected to the Internet:
ipmitool -U admin -P admin -H IP_ADDRESS chassis power off
Somebody else post a scenario, I can't think of one.
Win by luck, lose by skill.
Then don't respond that isn't any fun. You have to think critically for longer than a few minutes in this game.
I was thinking something more circlejerky that would crash SEN in its bravery, but okay.

Prostitutes exist. Enjoy!
You're dropped into pitch black darkness and hit the ground, then hear something move above you. You feel around and soon find a metal handle, which you pull. It seems to be a refrigerator, and as you open it, the light from inside allows you to see the room. It is a 10 x 10 x 10 foot room with no doors or windows, and every surface is covered in dull red wooden panels. There is a note inside the refrigerator, which reads "You have one week of oxygen inside this room". There is also a 1 liter bottle of water, beside a single plate of steak and a fork and knife. Scanning the floor of the room, you see there is one other object here. You pick it up and see an assortment of wires, a number pad, and a clock. Turning it over, there is a note attached, which states "This time bomb will detonate at a randomly chosen point in the next week. Entering the correct password on the number pad will deactivate it. Entering an incorrect password will result in detonation 5 seconds later."
How do you escape the room?
Enjoy yourself a delicious steak and water dinner, then turn the refrigerator around to face the wall. Bash on the keypad a bit and throw it into the wall-facing refrigerator and escape out of the following hole in the wall.

You are the leader of the world. How do you MORALLY keep the world out of petty conflict?
None.

Incorrect. Even if that would somehow work, nothing from the scenario or your answer suggested that there was empty space behind the wall.
The idea behind the game isn't necessary to be "right" or "wrong," hence in the OP where it says "No Win Scenarios." So really by prolonging that specific question past jjf and undead-fox posing new scenarios, you are spamming the thread.
No, I'm not. Posting a nonsense answer makes it inapplicable to the scenario. You could reply to every post with "banana purple snowflake", that doesn't mean the scenario has been addressed. Neither the examples used so far, nor anything in the OP, suggest that critical thinking should not be used in answering; in fact, they both state the exact opposite of that. I believe Inferno's first post demonstrates fairly well what standard should be expected.
Well, how about this instead: let it go as the game has continued already. Or are we going to turn this into an argument as well?
Kame, you need to let it go. The scenario wasn't answered, throwing the bomb into the refrigerator doesn't make sense. Please don't disrupt the game every time someone remarks on the quality of an answer, or we'll have to ask you to stop posting here altogether.
That being said, anyone with any actual critical thinking ability would have realized that this game can be multithreaded. Having a so-far unanswered scenario doesn't prevent people who are incapable of answering it from continuing with their own scenarios, while those who wish for a challenge can focus on the unanswered posts. The only thing which has actually detracted from this game is your off-topic spam, which I demand you cease immediately.

A bomb in the refrigerator with the door open facing a wall would focus the power of the blast towards the open hole of the fridge, and at the wall, blowing into it rather than consuming the entire room in the blast.
Now if you want to get anally retentive about detail...
What gives the power to the light? is it a battery or is there a plug? Is the water purified or not? Is the bomb just a small chunk of C4 or are is it the size of a shipping crate?
Either way, if the big puzzle is to escape the room when there's apparently no space behind any of the walls (i.e. 20 ft thick cement) I'll just assume the ceiling is and floor is as well. I'd blow myself up just to not deal with the room but I wouldn't have escaped.
BUT, if we want to think critically, then I'll just think really hard, and imagine myself on a desert island with coconuts and Fire_Kame in a flaming bikini riding a pegasus.
In a mental way, I have "escaped" the room.
None.

Plug, as you would expect. Maybe. A size that can be picked up, evidently.

That's a faulty assumption since something in the description directly contradicts it.

Dance naked to the YMCA song, videotape it and put it on youtube. Since Y comes later than D in the alphabet, YMCA > DMCA and you win.
Edit: Shit, sorry missed Undead-Fox's answer and scenario:
Imagine a world where google doesn't exist. Which search engine do you use?!
That's easy, AskJeeves.
New Scenario:
You are a healthy young male and have been captured by the entire Russian Ballet, who plan to use you shamelessly for your body until you die from exhaustion. How do you escape?
None.

Pshh, slowly strip down and seduce all of them into a crazed lust, then proceed to run. Fast.
New Scenario :
You've broken your mother's favorite vase, and she doesn't have much patience. Give three words to dissipate and make your mother love you again.
( I know, this one is hard )
None.
