My new toy, called TV-B-Gone, is essentially a universal remote control that does one thing only: It turns off TVs.UGH. This man is walking around town, turning off TVs that people are watching. Oh, but it's for their own good.
[...]
At the food court during the auto show at the Washington Convention Center, four guys were watching CNN Headline News when my kids and I sat down with our sandwiches. We zapped the TVs, and the guys immediately turned their heads from the screen to each other and commenced a conversation. A victory for social discourse!
On the other hand, when I dared to zap a couple of screens at the ESPN Zone -- yes, I know, this was an irresponsible risk of life and limb -- I did hear a couple of miffed heys. But it had to be done -- all in the interest of social science, of course.
Somebody please, please, punch this man in the face. I'm begging you.
