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.
