He probably should have shot his television a long time ago. Sounds like he needs to get a life.

He had several years to figure out exactly where and how he was going to destroy his TV ... not like it was unexpected or anything ....

I have the same urge whenever Pelosi and her ilk appear on tv. I wish I still had my son’s old Gatling Nerf gun.

I used to have that urge, but its gone since I swapped the big CRT for an LCD. The big "pop" would be gone.

True but if he cracked because he couldn’t watch TV, what does that say about him.

Losing TV is a strange trigger for a psychotic break don’t you think?

An elderly man...?

Heck, some of those cops looked elderly. And is it my imagination, or did that SWAT team look like something out of a Monty Python skit?

I clicked on the link, and it’s still not clear what this had to do with the digital conversion. Sounds more like typical cable service to me.

A drunk shoots his TV and everyone in the country talks about it. Some even find something significant in it. Unbelievable.

My unstanding is it can be often so trivial as to be unregonnized by the average person.
