I'm grinning an evil grin tonight! A small, but enjoyable victory for our side! [View all]

So I go to lunch today at a well-known fast-food joint near my work and order my lunch. It's very busy, and Fox Propaganda is showing on the television. So I put my food down at a table, and go up to ask the counter lady if she can change the station to, say, CNN. The poor harried lady steps away briefly, then comes back with the remote control and hands it to me. "See if you can find it," she says, then goes back to what she was doing.

The keys to the kingdom! I push the program guide button, find MSNBC, and select it. Then I realize that this is an opportunity that may never come again! I push the Menu button, find Settings, and there is the Mother Lode--Parental Control! I changed the Parental Control to On, then browse stations to lock out until I see Fox Propaganda and Fox Business. I lock out those two, then set the PIN code to 9897 (higher numbers usually take longer to find), Confirm, and exit. So now, not only can they NOT watch Fox Nooze, it doesn't even come up on the program guide! Then I took the remote back to the very nice lady, sat down, and enjoyed a nice Fox-less lunch over MSNBC!

Like I said, one small, sweet victory for truth!
