Not sure what went wrong with my TV, but it's an old 27" CRT (I don't replace my technology until I have to).
Anyway, over the last year or so, the picture has been getting darker and darker, to the point it was pissing me off because any dark scenes in a movie were pretty much unwatchable.
Then on Saturday, the weirdest thing happened. Instead of picture, I was getting ASCII characters. I'm assuming something on the mother board went bad, but as one person put it, it was like the matrix had invaded my TV. Or as hubby had put it, the thing was possessed. That made me wonder how badly a demon believing fundie would of freaked out over such an incident.

You got Ascii characters on a CRT? O.o
That's...

Not sure how a fundie would react, though.

They would call for a young priest and an old priest and just hope for the best.

Chances are they wouldn't call any priests. Catholics are worse than Nazis to them, remember?

Well the folks at RR would probably think it's the government watching them, big brother style. That's what they think the national switch to digital is going to be, if I remember right. Either that or it had something to do with brainwashing paranoia.

Actually, anti I think I know what happened. Somehow you must have gotten ahold of my video tape of ASCII porn. If it's not too much trouble I'd like it back please.

They would probably think that Obama is spying on them or something.

A friend of mine told me that when his grandmother had heard a strange repeating beeping sound in her apartment she assumed that the devil was trying to attack her.
She had already arranged to have an excorsism in her appartment but some of her relatives visited her and got her new batteries for her smoke detector.

My television had that as well, I suspect that it was related to the videotext function of it. A reset got rid of it the few times it happened. I got rid of the TV for other reasons though. @antichrist: show pictures!  |
