They should try to focus their talents on something positive.

Yeah, nothing like someone turning off Robert Tilton or Jesse DuPlantis during a revival. The horror!
Do you want forgiveness or respect?

Not that spectacular.
You could do the same thing years ago already with this: Casio Watch
Drove one of my teachers mad!

No, you couldn't.

The TV-B-gone is already pre-programmed for virtually all TVs.
No programming needed. It works on ALL TVs at the same time.

That Casio watch doesn't even come close to the power of TV-B-gone

The Casio doesn`t need programming either; it has the frequencies of most TVīs in it`s memory.
And it can open cars too!

Infrared ? These must be quite old cars.
Those car's locks you can probably open with a tooth-pick... So why bother ?
