CSC
The Channel Surfing Channel.
besides preventing carpal tunnel syndrome, it will also help save
consumers money in the wasted batteries department (which will also
help the environment).
and remote controls will last much longer.
whatever is currently showing on all the other channels will be
flickered on the screen in two to three second segments per channel.
below the channel surfing part of the screen there will be a constant
scroll of philosophical questions which will alternate at unexpected
intervals with advertisements for various products and services.
CSC Plus will be the sister network -- flickering segments at five
times the speed of CSC.
subscribe today and get your own digitally enhanced control panel
which allows you to program various channel surfing preferences,
like... which channels you'd like to surf more frequently as well as
which channels you'd like to skip entirely.
twenty user-defined channel surfing presets allows for different
channel surfing modes for different times of the day.
the channel surfing part of the screen can also be broken up into
multiple channel surfing screens so that you can surf up to eight
channels at a time.
yep.
try that with a book.
um...
oh.

There's a basic flaw in this.
Remember someone invented cars that would drive themselves in perfect
safety at high speeds from city to city? A technical marvel, but no
one wanted them. People want to drive their own cars.
Likewise, I can see the Warrior Queen giving up her remote when they
pry it from her cold, dead hands.
But it gets a B+ for cleverness, right after the Puppy Channel.

understatement.

nope.
that's just an urban myth to discourage anyone from actually inventing
such a thing, isn't it?

must have been a bad design.

except when they don't.

hey look, Bill, people simply can't be trusted to do their own channel
surfing anymore.
nor would they likely want to take responsible for such.
these days, we need professional channel surfers to handle that level
of decision making.

i like my proposal for The Commercial Channel better.
24 hours of non-stop commercials.
no commercial breaks!
seven days a week, three-hundred sixty-five days a year.
Coke. It's the Real Thing!
