When Stupid People Require a "Fox Blocker"

Looks like somebody finally invented a simple device called the "Fox Blocker" where a little silver/brass looking device that can be screwed into the back of a tv allowing helpless people to filter Foxnews from their channels.

Oh what genius this guy is!! People are buying this device because they have no will power not to even look at Fox News? Pathetic I'd say. They need a little dohicky to do the job for them.

Kimery's motives go deeper than preventing people from watching the channel,which he acknowledges can be done without the Blocker. But he likens his device to burning a draft card, a tangible example of disagreement.
Wot? A draft card? There's no indoctrination here. Or forced complience, either. You either believe or enjoy watching Foxnews or not as a source of valid news. But there's a simple way of doing this where you don't have to watch Foxnews and that's via your own remote control channel device. And if you want to do this the least technical way, it's called "skipping a channel" or "ignoring Foxnews channel." Quite easy. I can guarantee you that. Or if you can't do that use your remote control device to program a channel to block Foxnews or any shows that you deem as not to your taste.

And he's taking this message to the network's advertisers. After buying the $8.95 device online, would-be blockers are shown a letter that they can send to advertisers via the Fox Blocker site. "The point is not to block the channel or block free speech but to raise awareness," said Kimery, who works in the high-tech industry.
Raise awareness? About what? Foxnews gets as much as double the viewerships as CNN. Foxnews gets on average about 1.5 million viewers versus 800,000 with CNN. Yeah, that device will really raise awareness. It's called "stupidity" when they can't figure it out to simply skip Foxnews channel. Not exactly a mind-control news here.

As for me, I have ever rarely watched any of the CBS news. I don't think I have come to think of it. I dont' care for that station. Simply because the CBS news station is full of idiots. Seriously. Dan Rather took that cake and showed what an idiot looks like to the world as "proof in the pudding" using the "Fake but accurate" blather.

So, if you truly feel helpless and that Foxnews has taken control of your mind, better blow your precious $9 bucks to get the device for your own peace of mind, and protection. Think "Trojan." Or better yet, "abstinence." This device is for stupid people only. Otherwise, exercise your free will and right to ignore Foxnews channel by pressing the remote control button one additional time to skip the channel. Really, it's VERY easy. I promise you that.

I am not surprised if someone will come up with CNN Blocker sooner.

Yes, Sherry. People are truly helpless when they must rely on a "Fox Blocker" device. They simply cannot ignore a program on their television set. Must be too compeling to watch Foxnews that they cannot simply ignore it. Sad.
However, the "Fox Blocker" is just the right size for a hemorroid suffer. Maybe that's where it need to go for those people who suffer from a certain rectal form of condition?
