Gizmodo Just Goes Totally Batshit Crazy! OMFGBBQ

TV-B-Gone is a tiny, inexpensive remote control device that lets you secretly turn off televisions wherever you go. I've always wanted one, but never got around to it. It's a
sadistic little device.

Gizmodo takes one to the nation's largest gathering of tech geeks (CES) and causes mayhem. Well, mayhem if you're a tech geek whose most risky endeavor the past ten years was trying to flash your PSP with custom firmware.

I personally can't tell which is funnier -- the video itself, or the pretentious indignant prattle from the tech blog-o-verse, which believes itself to be edgy with a keen sense of humor, until you turn off a PR representative's TV I guess. That's just crazy, Ozzy Osbourne bat-head eating shit and totally over the line. More people are annoyed about this than they are about conflicted blogger-whores who pimp startups for cash while pretending to be objective analysts, which I dunno -- seems telling.
