TV-B-Gone

Guy walks into a bar. There's TVs everywhere, all set to different channels. Nobody's watching, but they are all having to talk loud to be heard over the blather. Guy pulls out his TV-B-Gone. It's black plastic, size of a matchbox, attached to his keyring. Guy aims, presses the button, and within seconds, all the TVs are off. Guy gets a standing ovation.

Sound like a dream come true? For US$14.99 + S&H, it is.
