TV Sends International Distress Beacon

A Toshiba flat screen television, distraught over its role in the decline of civilization sends its own SOS out into the heavens.

The signal from Chris van Rossmann's TV was routed by satellite to the Air Force Rescue Center at Langley Air Base in Virginia...Van Rossmann said he was told to keep his TV off to avoid paying a $10,000 fine for "willingly broadcasting a false distress signal."
