In Praise of TV-B-Gone

[dr_pretentious]

Everybody should have one of these, especially if you have to spend any significant amount of time in waiting rooms or airports. I got a lot of use out of mine at prenatal appointments, back when I had them at a practice that kept two televisions tuned to different programs in their waiting room.

I've been surreptitious with my TV-B-Gone, and sometimes a little snarky about how I've deployed it, but never have I done anything with it as juvenile, or as brilliant, as this.
