Remind you of anything?

Digital cable boxes are brainwashing instruments? I thought (from a clip that Phil Hendrie) played on his show Friday evening) that it was the over-the-air DTV converter boxes that were supposed to be the brainwashing appliances. The conspiracy theory was that "mind control signals" can be carried over digital broadcasts and that is the real reason that the government wants over-the-air TV transmission transitioned to digital. I know somebody who holds this view (not a participant on this forum), and for the record, I think it is absolute bunk! I consider myself a bit of a real-life Dale Gribble, but even I have my limits.

There might be something to it.

My new DirecTV receivers came with tin foil blindfolds.
