Key chain remote control turns off most TVs

SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- Ticked off by the TV? Turn it off -- anywhere.

A new key chain gadget that lets people turn off most TVs -- anywhere from airports to restaurants -- is selling at a faster clip than expected.

"I thought there would just be a trickle, but we are swamped," the inventor, Mitch Altman of San Francisco, said. "I didn't know there were so many people who were into turning TV off."

4. Ooooooooooooooooooooo! ANY TV?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It's going on my Christmas wish list NOW.

- No TV in Airport!
- No TV in Drs. Office!
- No TV in bar!
Can you imagine, people might actually TALK to each other for once!

I can just imagine myself, going around and turning off the idiot box surreptitiously. Call me the phantom TV turner offer!

HOOK ME UP!
