What's next? Will the networks demand that the "On/Off" switch be disabled so they can force feed their crap to us?

If they could find a way to implement it without the resulting furor - yes.

Hah! And after that, they'll create the barcolounger automatic seatbelt that locks shut when you sit down, and won't unfasten during commercials, no doubt!

Nope, next they will disable the channel changer buttons so we can't channel-surf during commercials.

Not at first. At first they will disable the channel changer. THEN they'll go for the On/Off button.

Read Stephen Kings "The Running Man." (The short story he wrote as Richard Bachman -- no the Schwarzenegger movie.) He predicted the "FreeVee Mandatory Consumption/Benefit Law" that required people to have a TV running, 24 hours a day. That way, the populace stayed inside, pacified and narcotized.
