    A similar thing happened during a World Series game in the '80s at the NBC station in Macon, Georgia. Someone's account of how it happened was on the web a few years ago but I can't find it now.

    @Dexomega: It wouldn't work on TV. They did this in a theater using a camera flash.

    @hawkeye18: It's often the case that one or more employees are required to do tasks such as this every day, perhaps multiple times a day, even if it is not necessary and even if it is futile.

    This is the same court that only a few weeks ago said police can plant a GPS device on your car and track your location without a warrant.

    Not nearly as funny as Dokken vs. Chicken

    @minibeardeath: There's one in front of my workplace that has a photocell to dim it as the sun goes down.

    21:9, oh boy! Does it have a StupidStretchDeluxe button on the remote so that millions of morons can eliminate the black bars that will appear with 1.85:1 movies, 16:9 HDTV shows, classic academy ratio films, and 60 years legacy of 4:3 TV shows?
