HAHAHAHA..."Foxblocker" - story on Tulsa local eve news. CHECK THIS OUT
They did a story on a local guy who bought this gizmo to block out FAUX NEWS...I didn't catch his name but he said "If they'd just call themselves the "conservative news network" instead of "fair and balanced", I wouldn't have a problem but they are liars and I don't want it on my TV."

Here's the URL for the gadget, and I'll check http://www.kotv.com a little later to see if the story is there

6. You don't need a "gizmo" to block out FOX
You can eliminate any channel you don't wish to see on any TV remote. Use your menu to search for the feature. Once done, as long as you're using the up and down arrows to channel surf, the channel you don't wish to see will be skipped. You can only see it by inputting the number of the station. I've programmed all the remotes in my house to skip FOX.

From: pitbulllvr

Subject: FOX BLOCKER

Good luck with that. You couldn't block Fox if you were GOD. FOX RULES.
Thank you for reading,
Kevin


NOTE FROM WEBMASTER

Assuming you mean "GOD" in the traditional Judeo-Christian sense, a single omnipotent being capable of miracles, I believe that if I were God:


-Social Security would last past my retirement date (2040).
-All children would have access to medical care.
-Everyone would have an opportunity to get a quality education.
-No nation would be allowed to wage war on another nation simply for personal gain.
-.....and as an afterthought, Rupert Murdoch would be reborn as a urinal.

9. My fave:
Subject: (No Subject)

The FoxBlocker is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. Can you provide me with a similar blocker so I don't have to hear the left-wing nonsense???

Jackson Williams


NOTE FROM WEBMASTER

Yes, I can provide you with a similar blocker. It is called a Tazer Gun (Non-lethal), you stick it in your mouth and flip the switch. I promise you won't be bothered by "left-wing nonsense" again.

If you are interested, the charge is $1,000 ea. Cash or Cashiers Check payable in advance. Please send your check to:


(Granted, it's mean, but then I have that kind of sense of humor, sometimes.)
