The first half is about National TV-Turn-off week.
The second half is about a device called TV-B-Gone. A small thing you can carry with you that can turn off any television set. It acts as a universal remote. The article is all happy and talks about how pervasive TV is, and you can use this thing to turn off all those TV that you don't like to see in bars, airports, wherever. WTF is up with that? It sounds like it's a product of the Me Generation. I don't like it, so I want it off. And I'm just going to keep wasting the time of the people whose job it is to keep it on. And screw the people who actually want to see it. He says they've sold 40,000 of them. I imagine few of them are used except by kids at malls.
