Cornfield Electronics TV-b-gone

You’re seated in a bar or restaurant, trying to chat up your companion, but you find yourself competing with the many televisions the place has going. don’t you wish there weren’t so many TVs yammering all the time?

Of course you do, and for US$14.99 you can do something about it. The TV-B-gone is a small remote that will shut off just about any TV in the vicinity. Point it at the
offending screen and hold down the button until the TV goes off. And the unit is small enough that no one will see you shut off the babble.
