The TV That Cried Wolf
Pretty funny story about a Toshiba-gone-haywire:
Seems the faulty set started emitting the international distress signal…. which was picked up by satellite and relayed to the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center. The owner of the TV was clueless about the signal, so they asked him nicely to turn it off.
The kicker: If he turns on the TV again, they’ll fine him $10,000 a day.
Time to buy a new TV, yo.
