These would be locking shades, four of them that extend from each side of the screen, to block out advertising. They would be physical shades that roll up just like regular window shades.

       The name made me think the shades had the ads on them. Maybe rename like BlockOut Shades...

       So, not made by Joo Janta.   

       You could make these much cheaper by printing ads on them.
