For The Remote Control Impaired

Apparently there are people in this country who hate Fox News and are so stupid they can't figure out how NOT to watch that channel:
It's not that Sam Kimery objects to the views expressed on Fox News Channel. The creator of the "Fox Blocker" contends the network is not news at all.

Kimery says he has sold about 100 of the little silver bits of metal that screw into the back of most televisions, allowing people to filter Fox News from their sets.

His dislike of Fox News doesn't end there:
And he's taking this message to the network's advertisers. After buying the $8.95 device online, would-be blockers are shown a letter that they can send to advertisers via the (site deleted) site (ed. He's not getting any free advertisement from me).

I guess his customers are too dim to realize that they already have a device that can not only block Fox News, but any other channel they dislike as well...it's called a remote control. And if that doesn't work, there's actually a control right on the TV itself that serves the same function. Apparently these folks are so afraid that they might succomb to the siren song of Fox that they have to rely on a device to keep them on the straight and narrow.

Now if we can only get a "Fool Blocker" to keep idiots like this out of the news.
