Man Shoots TV over convertor Box Confusion

The Iowa Blog Cabin has been warning people for month's about the DTV transition...So now it's happened.  A Missouri man has shot his TV over not being able to get it to work.

Here's the article

OK, so the DTV transition hasn't been perfect.

While the early analog-cutoff of 421 TV stations on Feb. 17 has gone relative smoothly according to most reports, that was not the case of at least one Missouri man, according to KARE-TV Minneapolis-ST. Paul.

The station reports that a 70-year-old Joplin man was arrested and charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm after shooting his TV set. Responding to a report of shots being fired, the station reported, the police found the man angry that he had both lost his cable and had been unable to get his new DTV converter box to work.

According to the man's wife, he had been drinking.

I felt like shooting my TV after seeing news stories of the MORONS at the Oscars. Actors have always been people "less fortunate" than the rest of us, but now they prove with every word they utter what happens to people who live lives of total degredation. Reprobates.
