Why don't you let Haskell speak for itself?
Instead of putting such buzzwords nobody really understands (and cares), put random problem descriptions and one-line solutions in Haskell. Well known problems like Fibonacci, Quicksort, etc. may be good candidates, even "add 1 to all elements of an Integer list" may be.
...and normal programmers care about the Fibonacci numbers because...? Seriously, there are many, many programmers who don't even know what Fibonacci numbers *are*. And even I can't think of a useful purpose for them. (Unless you count Fibonacci codes?) Quicksort is a well-used example, but several closely related sorting algorithms turn out to be fairly wordy in Haskell. It just so happens that [a very simple] quicksort is quite short. I guess the question we've got to ask [hmm, we are repeating aren't we?] is who we're trying to attract. Yeah, we should probably set up a seperate list for this stuff...
