Kill your television... kill other people's televisions...

[flexagon]

Ha ha ha! We have a houseguest and he's brought this delicious keychain into our lives. Apparently they're all kinds of fun.

For those too lazy to click, imagine a tiny remote control that does nothing but turn off televisions -- small and unobtrusive enough to take into all your favorite restaurants, laundromats, airports, et they-seem-to-be-everywhere cetera. We've ordered two of them already. Heh heh. :)

HLM and our houseguest suggest that I start a tv-free community on LJ. Possibly worth trying, though a) it probably wouldn't take off and b) I'd hate for it to turn into another stupid rant community.

UPDATE: a comment on my community_quest post informs me that televisionfree already exists -- and by the way, it doesn't look especially ranty. I think I'm off the hook.

I'm seriously thinking of giving it a shot. I've posted on community_quest first to make sure there isn't one out there already -- though I've already searched and I really think there's not.

Does it count if I own a tv and barely ever watch it? :)

I would definitely consider you an interested party and eligible to join. I was thinking open membership for anyone interested in limiting TV in their own lives, or even just interested in thinking about it.
