Kill your television

Why would someone come up with such a specific device?

Because it's not like you're going to want to turn off someone's toaster or clock.

"Because a TV that is powered “on” is like second-hand smoke: It fills the room with its sights and sounds, impinging on everyone in the vicinity. With TV-B-Gone™, you have the power to turn off any TV – to clear the air. Why should you be exposed to TV just because someone else is addicted to it?"

Yes folks, it's TV B Gone! As seen on the internet, which is in no way addictive or harmful!

You forgot the part where you do not have the guts to do it in fornt of everyone. Leave the room.

I wonder if that would work at Best Buy? Imagine the shocked look on their faces as 50 televisions suddenly go blank.

I think they need a "radio-B-Gone" to take to local Walmarts when some jackass likes to blare rap music while testing the speakers on a stereo system. Or that jackass who really cranks one up at Best Buy....

...which is why I should never be allowed to own one of these things.

Me neither. I'd have too much Sithly fun with one of those!

I had a friend who had a watch that could change channels, turn tv's on and off, stuff like that. It was great fun in high school messing with the TV when the teachers were trying to get you to watch something stupid so they didn't have to work.

My friend used to wreck havoc on substitutes with one of those things and then he lost it.

I'll just have to get one of these instead .

You can often do the same thing with a PDA with an IR port. You just need to download the right program.

I couldn't resist - I ordered one. I'll let you know how it works when it arrives.

Kill your EVERYONE'S television.

Because they can read my mind apparently

This is awesome.

And now it's on my Amazon wishlist.

I hate the TV and every time I go into the Jiffy Lube waiting room with a book to read, I sit there (alone) and find that I can't read with the TV blaring as loud as it can go, so I sit and watch innane programming and want to cry.

Oil changes will soon be much more peaceful.
