I found my self day after day in need of such device. A manual flush on the side or on top of the TV set. A soon as you see an annoying person on TV you get up with all your anger and rage and hit the flush. His voice fades, and the image is rendered over a 3D animation. And the sound of splashing water will calm you down. I prefere not to add a flush button over the remote control.

Most TVs also have an off switch. [angel, Apr 27 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]

.."day after day.." you are watching too much tv. Switch off and do something you enjoy.

Sorry, for the "day after day" I don't watch much TV.

Watch all the TV you like without shame.

redpony: watching TV IS something I enjoy. My roomie's computer had a deguasser that made the screen oscillate about 20 degrees back and forth really quickly (as opposed to wiggle, which I've seen other degaussers do). Mayhaps this could be extended to some multiple of 360 degrees for the funnel effect.
