Then it's registered by your TV as a show you don't ever
want
to watch again.
The swirl effect would be created digitally from a still
frame
of the show taken when you push the flush button while
a sampled toilet flush sound accompanied it through the
speakers.
I'm sure the TV rating
folks would like to get the "flush
numbers" of shows people are never going to watch
again.
Alternately the remote could just have an actual toilet
style
flush handle on the side.
ADDENDUM: Button with a bomb symbol would
alternately do what's shown in the link.
OK, this would be very satisfying.

You can get an even better sound by opening the window and pushing the TV set out of it. |
|
| |
I suppose you could have other effects as well. A
bomb button that condenses the screen into a
representation of the show playing on a small screen
TV on a bomb range that then blows up. (link) |
|

Swat button would transfer the show to a turret-mounted projector and the screen would shrink to the size of a postage stamp and then zoom all over the wall. You have to chase it with a fly-swat and swat it at which point it explodes. |
|
| |
I would enjoy flushing a few overactive egos down the
toilet, be it a fake or real one. |
|
| |
Only problem with this, I may turn the TV on one day
and the screen will say "You've flushed all available
TV shows except Modern Marvels and South Park." |
|
| |
Which actually would probably be OK. |

Consider your answer carefully, it may be your last... |

//What about Star Trek ? // is that the one with daft vador in it? |
|
| |
Well Star Trek goes without saying so didn't need to
be mentioned. |

A variation of my friend's "nerd test" (that I've
mentioned before) where you say "I like the Star
Trek episode where Luke Skywalker gets into a
light phaser fight with Captain Kirk." then when
they lose it yell ""NERRRD!" |
|
| |
And there was Captain Nemo as well, with the pointy ears. He flew on the death cube I think. |
|

What a dilemma; two Wicker Men, one each for [doc] and [poc], or a single extra-large one ? |
|
| |
Probably two separate ones, so one gets to watch the other burn, and the entertainment can be spread over a longer time. |
|
| |
Some amusing repartee along the lines of "Welease Bawabbas !" might be elicited ... nothing like a leavening of gallows humor to raise the mood. |
|
| |
Yes the "Planet of the Wicker Men" episode of Star Wars was one of my favourites all right! |
|
| |
Indeed ? Then you will no doubt be delighted to find that we have prepared a unique Wicker Wookie just for you ... |
