The talk online when I woke up this morning and much of today was the stunt that gadget blog Gizmodo pulled over at the big tech show in Vegas this week, CES. The Gizmodo gang went around with one of those TV zappers and turned off peoples TVs while they were talking about stuff with the TV on.
It's a little bit funny, but not that much, really. Come on? Why is there so much buzz about this lame stunt? It's not really that funny is it? You'd get more laughs off You've Been Framed!
Yet all the blogs (almost all American, note) are going crazy!!!!1!!!!!!one!!1!! "Gizmodo goes too far!", "Gizmodo what were you thinking?", "Let's see who's laughing after next year's body cavity search."
Is it just us Brits that see this for what it is? A not even that good prank? We could do su much better, no?
*rubs hands and starts thinking about good pranks for the next gig*
*perhaps with paint or flashing LED alien things*
It was crass. Good call.
