Moron Alert

This man is a moron, and an angry moron at that. How else do you explain someone who would go to such trouble to create a coaxial trap to filter out one cable channel. Is it Playboy? Al-Jazeera? Reality TV? No, it's Fox News. But let him explain it:

It's not that Sam Kimery objects to the views expressed on Fox News Channel. [Of course not, but read on --ed] 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.

"I might as well be reading tabloids out of the grocery store," he said. "Anything to get a rise out of the viewer and to reinforce certain retrograde notions."

"The point is not to block the channel or block free speech but to raise awareness," said Kimery, who works in the high-tech industry.

Kimery doesn't use the device; he occasionally feels the need to tune into Fox News for something "especially heinous."
Obviously a budding candidate for the Federal Election Commission.
