Stuff that stocking: TV-B-Gone

Too often you are in a shop, a bar, or just a public space in total comfort but you notice that something is amiss. Instead of having their eyes on you, the crowd is staring into the infernal idiot box. As if determined to squelch conversation and dumb-down the aesthetic, televisions are a too-frequent addition to many rooms. It doesn't have to be that way.

With TV-B-Gone you are in control of your environment. Use is simple and discreet. The device is small enough to be a welcome addition to your key chain and causes no excess pocket bulk. Once pulled out of the pocket, TV-B-Gone is pointed at the offending set and within seconds, the box is silenced.

Available in red, green, purple, and, of course, black, TV-B-Gone is a bargain at $19.99 and can be purchased online. An extra bonus: the inventor of this nifty little device, Mitch Altman, is one of the gays, and was featured among the OUT 100!
