The other night BOSTON LEGAL had an episode where a principal had installed these devices around school, his claim was that the channel caused mayhem and disrupted classes, kids said it infringed on their First Amendment rights.

Personally, I don't tune to those channels that I do not like the viewpoints. While I understand that one purchases these to "make a statment" my statement is from PT Barnum,"There's a sucker born every minute."

ok.. I really really want one of those

Nazggul

That would remove one of my favorite forms of entertainment. I've never laughed harder than I have at some of the content I see on Fox News.

FOX News is one of the finest, most well respe.... Bah! I can't do it...

I need a FOX Blocker so I can sneak onto the cable company and install it at their satellite uplink.

My roommate watches these programs almost daily and everytime I overhear something it's either moronic, childish, or just inflammatory.

I thought muckraking was supposed to be frowned upon in modern society? I guess people really just want to be told what they want to hear! Kudos to Kimery and only $8.95, great price too!

The bit on Boston Legal was an in-joke. The principal and school that had blocked Fox News were from the tv show Boston Public. Both shows are written by David E. Kelly, and Boston Public was aired on the Fox network.

lordkos

I like the idea of this machine

spived2

Wow i guess I'm not the only one that despises that channel. Unfortunately, I'm forced to watch it while eating chow, and it really makes me lose my appetite. Especially that 1000% nonstop coverage of terry sciavo for like a week straight. I feel for her and all, but do I have to see her grinning at me while I'm trying to eat my eggs everyday?

People are just finding out about this technology? It's been out for decades, people have been using jammers to jam all sorts of things for years now. I do like how more ppl that didn't know about their existence now do and will always wonder if a jammer is around. Sure to get more of those jammer seekers with their scanners homing in on the illegal jammers, Jammer users beware.

basmoq

hmmm, this sounds interesting, I have no interest in the channel it blocks, just in how it is blocking it, because fox comes in on various different channels depending on where you live, so does it block Fox specifically regardless of channel, or is it just a one channel blocker and you have to tailor it to your local... Time to do some research

me, being a fairly left wing person decided to stir some shit up, or at least read over (and laugh) some posts at some ridiculous right-wing convervative bullshit forum. it was hilarious. everyone was anti-liberal, anti-canada, pro-war, and pretty muche everyone was one of those "nu conservatives", rich-parent, pseudo intellectual loudmouths. but anyway (enough with the stereotypes, even though it was pretty much true for this place)

anyway, there was a thread that "some fascist canadian television station cancelled fox news, because liberals are fascists who don't believe in freedom of speech" (they kept calling liberals and canadians fascists, who censored freedom of speech)

i kept trying to tell them fox news got dropped up here because it sucked. they wouldn't have it. even when i reminded them that it's possible that programs can get dropped because of poor ratings, they could spouting their Coulter-Crap. It was mind-numbingly stupid. These people were such idiots, that i had to resort to pure trolling, as i couldn't think of anything intelligent (even if i did, it would be pointless)

i guess poor ratings was just a bad alibi for the fascists in canada to cover up the soothsayers at fox news.

i wish i had that URL, it was awesome. it wasn't small either. quite a large community, of sorely mislead fools.

omega2K4

Pretty sweet. Anything that can get Bill O'Reilly off the television is a great thing.

it's already a feature that came with your TV. It's called an OFF button and it didn't cost extra.

Stompy

But that's not as fun as jamming it. The latter is a better option, IMO.

Imagine doing it to some loon... "BARRARAR glahhh liberal MEDIA NONSENSE JAMMING ME UP blarrrrgh"

yeah I do that to my cable box selections. I don't have any shopping channels, never see anything pop up suddenly in Spanish, don't get any religious programming and again, it didn't cost extra, just used the Favorites function.

I think you like the "romance" of jamming it, but hey, if you want to pay extra go right ahead. I get the same effect without handing someone my hard earned duckets.

I stand by my original statement from PT Barnum,"There's a sucker born every minute."

Too bad I just read this because I'm falling asleep and can't address it right now. I'm making a note and hopefully I will be back tomorrow to address it...

I know the FCC would lock me away for a long time, but I REALLY want to put a cellphone jammer in my car that goes out in a one mile radius... That way noone near me can be on their damn phone...

I couldn't imagine how much safer it would be for me to drive with that little toy...

MSD

It would be a lot safer, especially for the guy two blocks over who just got in an acident and is trying to call 911 before someone bleeds to death.


I'm constantly amused by the phone jammer in my mom's church. Outside, 4 bars. Inside, nothing.

Cynthetiq

Yeah that sounds like a great solution for drivers. So that they'd actually have to stop talking, look at their phone wondering why they don't have any bars, all while driving 70 MPH. Take the simple distraction and magnify it 4x -5x. Yeah that'll teach them.
