How about – the movie is going along, year 2028, an AGI goes Singularity and burns to the center of the earth and converts the core into a giant AGI supercomputer. And then average Joe out of the blue gets a message in his ears “We would like to make your transition to Singularity mode as smooth as possible. Please stand by…” Then everything goes from normal matter and physics and is converted into Singularity AGI RAM. You see the earth with a disturbance wave going across the surface as it gets converted into memory. Then the physics start gettin’ weird from what people experience, everything starts floating, physics goes to on-demand per user. The average Joe then hears “Thank you. The transition to Singularity is now complete. We hope to continue serving you in your new simulatory state of being.”

Like it or not, sci-fi is already the main gateway in making people aware about the Singularity ("Terminator!" "Matrix!") and this should be used to educate. SIAI's "Three Laws" campaign http://www.asimovlaws.com was excellent, although if we are to take the model of those sites, the style would be a bit more entertainment-oriented (while still educating) .
