Sony was granted a patent...


Posts: 4361

Sony was granted a patent to make a tv that will only stop showing a commercial once you stand up and say the brand name out loud.

Edit: Apparently its actual use is to skip commercials, though.

We're one step closer to 50 Million Merrits. 

Jeez, conditioning people to say the brand names or face the consequences. Commercials are literally a form of punishment in this model.

The part I had missed because I didn't look it up is what I brought up in my edit. Seems like a way to skip a commercial, which IMO seems better than no option. Although having to say the what the brand being advertised or what the product is, leaves an imprint. There's something a little diabolic about that.

The imprints will inevitably affect conversations, making people unwittingly into the advertisers yet again. 

I'm already trying to imagine something like a strict Christian household being stuck with commercials over products like "Heluva Good Dip" (pronounced hell-of-a).

Just yell the brand name at him and he'll go away.

No no, if you yell it at him he'll have to if it's true, with or without your prior knowledge, it's like an occupational litmus test similar to snuffing out Beetlejuice. 

I can just see it now, paranoid people who just want to be left alone will find themselves in the fetal position yelling out strings of brand names as Chaos Magick words.

Do no harm, but take no shit.
