We all know how dangerous and damaging TV is. Well now you can turn off any TV with this neat new gadget. This brand new universal remote turns off almost any television. The device, which looks like an automobile remote, has just one button. When activated, it spends over a minute flashing out 209 different codes to turn off televisions, the most popular brands first. Very cool.
If you want to make a dent in the childhood obesity epidemic by easily turning off all TVs around kids, you will want to seriously consider ordering one of these puppies. Full production started yesterday and you won't be able to order this until next week but I will be first in line to order one.
