TV Turnoff Week April 25 - May 1, 2005

[BrklynLiberal]

FYI:The $10US price + $5 shipping for the TV-B-Gone is an excellent price. I just bought one for $19.99 +4.95 shipping. The more you buy, the more you save. I have it on my keychain now, and it is a joy to turn off TVs that are playing FAUX News in public places now. You can keep it in your pocket, and no one knows what the hell is going on.

It's time to fight back. For TV-Turnoff 2005 we've teamed up with the good folks at TV-B-Gone, makers of a pint-size remote control that shuts off any television, anywhere. You're in an airport, classroom, bank or bar and want to silence the idiot box? No problemo.

In a few weeks, JammerGroups all over the world will start reclaiming public space with this ingenious device. You can organize with others in your area by joining your city's JammerGroup . Share ideas and plans at the TV-Turnoff forum . And get your own TV-B-Gone at cost ($10US plus shipping).

TV-Turnoff week is a statement against dead-end couch culture. And it's about cleaning up the mental environment. Like our oceans and air, our shared mindscape is littered with pollutants -- distorted news, manipulative ads, violence and top-down culture.

The goal is simple. With a seven day tube-fast we shake up routines and get people questioning the role of TV in their lives.

Let's get started.
