The other day I was abruptly awakened by someone blaring their television. I walked down the hall to find out what room the annoying sounds were coming from. I eventually reached the room, which was at the end of the hall, and politely asked them to turn down the volume. Instead of doing what I asked they just stared at me like I was crazy. Later that day I was on a website and found the perfect item that would have been a great help in my earlier debacle.
The TV-B-Gone would have been the answer to my problem. The TV-B-Gone is basically a remote that can turn off any television. It has the off codes programmed into it for almost every television in the North America. This remote is designed to fit on your keychain and is easy to use. All you have to do is hold the button down and point it at the television you wish to turn off. Within seconds the annoyance will be neutralized.
Just imagine sitting down in the lobby trying to do your homework and someone has the TV on. It is disrupting your concentration so you pull out your keychain and push the button on the TV-B-Gone. The television turns off and your worries are over. You can also use it as a great way to prank your friends. All of your friends meet up to watch a movie at someone’s dorm. About half way through the movie you hit the keychain remote and the television flips off. Someone goes to turn it back on and instantly you turn it back off.
The TV-B-Gone is a great tool to get rid of any annoyances and to tick off your friends.

Yes! I love to have little hand-held gadgets or lights that I can use to mess with my friends. The difference with this one is that I don't think that many people know about this device's existence. A laser is annoying yet obvious, but this universal off-switch is of James Bond caliber. It's unnoticeable and completely unexpected. I have a feeling that I would have too much fun with this thing at random public places. The reactions to turning off a Super Bowl for only five seconds would be more than priceless at a place like Buffalo Wild Wings. Good gadget choice. The strange and unusual are more fun than the common and ordinary.
I totally love this gadget. I didn't even know such things existed! Yes, I would be thrilled to watch my friends wondering if ghosts are turning the TV's off. Also, because it’s small it is really deceiving. I like the way you are connecting your personal experience with finding a solution for the future. I think the article should have an attention getter title like “Wanna prank your friends…???” to get more people to read the article. The picture looks too ordinary and common to do the job. If I hadn’t read the whole article I would have thought it was something about laser lights! However, it was a very interesting topic.
