I just ordered a TV-B-Gone, for FOX News quarantine enforcement.
You can get your own here...
http://www.tvbgone.com/cfe_tvbg_main.php
It's a simple device, which looks sort of like a car's keyless entry remote, with a single button that causes it to emit the infrared "Power off" codes for every brand and model of TV it knows about, which is to say about 95%+ of TVs in existence.
Yeah, it's time to get aggressive when it comes to people playing FOX News in businesses, doctor's offices and other public places.

1. funny idea, but kinda nazi esque in you wanting to control what is on every TV
i think its kinda easy to ignore TV's in public and if you have one at home then you control it,
common sense at the dump? :-)

10. Watch me control other people's TVs.
Edited on Tue Jun-02-09 11:38 AM by backscatter712
Yes, I fully intend to be an asshole about this.
I'm sick of seeing fascist, murder-inciting propaganda coming from FOX News, and every time I see it, either the TV's owner will make FOX News go away, or I will.
So call me nazi-esque.

3. So you want to censor what is being played on public televisions?
You've become that which you hate, I suggest that you put this thing down and back away slowly.
Seriously, it's not your TV to **** with, why do you presume that you should do such a thing?

National Socialists were leftists too, do they know that?

If you do that at a public place, they don't look too kindly to that.

I'd love to see the DUmmie do that in a sports bar during a crucial moment of the game.

See my post verbatim in the other thread about this. I don't feel like posting the same freaking rant twice in 5 minutes. What a freaking tool.

Except for the "esque" part...sure.

I bought a tv b gone about a year ago.
It is a fun toy. I took it to Wal Mart and stood back about 20 feet from the wall of TV's and it shut off 8 at one time. It kinda looks like the alarm remote for a car, so, I doubt anyone would know it was me doing it. Plus, it works just fine from INSIDE my pocket.
But, then I didn't buy it because I am a whiny biatch. I bought it because its funny

If I catch this little ***** doing that in my vicinity, he will have a suppository in seconds! How dare some asshat decide what others should watch! Hell, most places I go around here have FOX on the tube, unless of course it's football season!

I'd like one that would randomly change the channel on the TV's, that was cheap and small enough to leave there in a concealed place.
Drive the sales droids nuts trying to figure it out.

Fox and conservatives in general spend a great deal of time and effort deliberately trying to anger liberals, perhaps we should be better than to let it get to us but we are only human.
Oh, really!?! :loser: What a basket case!!
The backscatter712 primitive is a child among children, but even if it does what it claims it wants to do, it's only going to bring attention to the very thing it's wanting others to not see. If you're so paranoid you believe that Fox News is somehow changing the landscape of America, then you're really beyond much help.

This thread shows the DUmmies in all their glory. We have the dim-bulb that can't control his emotions.

21. Ummm...
People are perfectly free to turn the TV back on, this device does not permanently damage anything.
It just temporarily silences a source of great aggravation for a lot of us, I personally don't think that businesses should promote a political world view to their customers, it's bad business to do so.
Watching FOX in particular is bad for your health if you are of the opposite political inclination, I walked out of a doctors office a few years back because they had something on that was enraging me and driving my blood pressure, which is already high enough, even further up the scale.
For a doctors office in particular to put on something they should know is going to be detrimental to a subset of their patients is unconsionable, "first, do no harm", eh?
The primitive that has a ninja-like strategy for avoiding the TV. But is willing to throw himself on the bayonet that is Fox News.

I try my hardest to ignore them, but can be extremely difficult. Especially in airports. I sit so the screen is out of my field of view, but the drone of the propaganda is still all-too-audible.
That said, when I'm at a restaurant with a TV, I try to be the one who can see it. That's because I don't care what's on and can almost always resist the temptation to look. Most people are drawn zombie-like to the flickering screen, regardless of what it is showing, and don't even realize it.
Another important myth to shatter about TVs playing Fox et al in public places is that they are the result of popular demand. They aren't. The people didn't ask for them. They are inevitably part of some business deal.
I can respect bottom-up popular culture, even when it's stuff I don't personally like. It's top-down corporate culture masquerading as popular culture that makes steam come out of my ears.
Internet bully...

67. Like I said, watch me.
After what happened to Dr. Tiller, it's time to misbehave.
Sometimes, in order to make things happen, you have to be an asshole.
Kiss my ass, if you don't like it, suck it. I damned well am going to unilaterally decide to turn off other people's FAUX Noise. This is an omelet for which I'm willing to break some eggs...
Who runs away scared from another internet bully.

94. Where did I say I'd respond with violence?
Edited on Tue Jun-02-09 03:42 PM by backscatter712
You pointed out you were 6'5" and would use your biiig bulk to crush my property.
That's intimidation, and if you actually touched me in your attempt to take my property from me, that's assault and battery. I don't have to respond with violence to see you thrown in jail for making threats of violence. I don't have to exert a microgram of force.
Damaging someone's property is okay. As long as you don't get caught. And it's not your property.

63. So we should hold our fire because we might damage a cheap-ass TV? What next?
Gotta keep that powder dry, eh?
Sorry, but I wasn't aware that power-cycling a TV in the same way that the owner does would damage it.
And, of course, the crazy:

43. Obviously, you are not aware of the mind control project funded by Fox News!
They fund teles that they give to places like McD's to indoctrinate the poor into being good fascists. They have instructed those recieving the sets to NEVER allow anything Else to be shown. I already will not go there. I am SICK of the hate. NONSTOP HATE. That is unseemly in public. And it is inciteful. If I hear some stupid **** comment on that bitch Michelle or such, I might lay the fool out. That should not be happening in public. Fox should be kept in the bedroom, with all the other nasty business. Bring it in my face, and I object vociferously.
To surmise the DUmmie's post:
* I may, or may not, strike a significant blow against the evil that is the Republican Party
* I will do it in such a manner that most people will, or will not, notice
* I will perform such dramatic action in a manner that will, most likely, not implicate me
* If implicated, I will drop to the floor and cry like a 3-year-old
* Upon success, or failure, of my mission, I will dutifully run to DU to profess that, armed with nothing more than a remote control, I single-handedly stopped a brutal beat-down of my Asian-American neighbor by an entire brigade of Marines who leaped out of my bushes, with SWAT sniper support providing cover fire
* Oops, almost forgot, Twin Towers = Mini-Nukes. Think about it.
F'ng idiots

Wanna watch this DUmbass work itself into a REAL FROTH?
- Set your publicly displayed TV to FoxNewsChannel or anything else the DUmmies hate so much.
- Put a little piece of black electrical tape over the receiver window (the little black square where you're supposed to aim the remote) on the TV.
- Sit back behind the counter and watch as the DUmbass tries to shut down the television and nothing happens. It'll lay into that damned button mercilessly, pointing it's little toy at the offending boob tube and moving closer with each failed attempt to enforce it's will upon the rest of society.
For even more fun, have a video camera available, for posting the DUmbass's frustration for all to enjoy.
:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

I generally turn the TV at work to Fox News when I'm taking a break or having lunch. I haven't seen so much as a single twitch, spasm, or outbreak over my channel choices. And get this, it's usually still on the next time I take another break. I enjoy Neil Cavuto's show, and the round table that comes on with Charles Krauthammer is okay.

I don't remember ever caring about what was on TV while I was in a waiting room. Last week, while I was waiting for a haircut, they had on a program about taking care of manicured fingernails, or keeping split-ends down, or keeping highlights up, or something. I read a National Geographic. Learned a thing or two about elephant seals. Didn't have any insane desire to change the channel, nor have I developed an unhealthy mania towards my nail or hair health. Guess I'm not empathetic enough or gay enough or whatever...

I just read through the thing and it is a parade of insanity.
The stupid little fools actually do believe that they matter and somehow are going to bring Fox news down. :lmao: :lmao:

The bolded part perplexes me. I must visit the only restaurants and offices who have the sound on the TVs turned off. And if anyone can hear a TV in any airport, I'd like to know whereQ
