Geeky Fun: The TV Poltergeist

March 27th, 2010

More like Geeky Harassment, actually.

Devices that interfere with TV transmissions aren’t new. There are quite a few annoying gadgets out there, that will sabotage TV watching.

This one, the TV Poltergeist, is especially cruel, though.

Annoy the crap out of friends and enemies by possessing their TV so it turns on and off at random intervals every 5-20 minutes, 24 hours a day, for weeks on end.

Perfect for interrupting lame sporting events, obnoxious video games, moronic sitcoms, and poorly written movies! Using the TV Poltergeist couldn’t be any simpler. Hide the TV Poltergeist somewhere in the same room as a TV and turn it on. Aim the LED toward the victim’s television. Sit back, keep a straight face and enjoy the chaos.

They’re Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere…

Get your hands on a TV Poltergeist and have some FUN!
