The TV Guardian

Howdy, folks!

It's here. The first video of No Effort November! We're taking a look at the TV guardian, generously sent to me by your fellow patron, Colin! This (to me) hilarious device watches closed captioning data for profamity and protects your kids' little ears. It's delightfully weird! But also clever in its own way.

I envisioned this being a 10 minute video... but by now, you'd think I'd know that's just never gonna happen.

I have a lot of the little fiddly work still to do (including, uh, the captions) but I'm gonna be tied up for the next few hours. If I can get this captioned tonight, I'm planning on publishing this tomorrow.

Oh, and I haven't forgotten about the next sights and sounds video! I promise! It'll definitely, 100%, be up this week.

'kay bye

Oh lord, this brought back memories. I knew no fewer than 5 highly religious families who had these, just in case Mother Angelica accidentally blurted out a forbidden 4 letter word in the middle of her show.
