Think I’ll stand on the street corner with a sign that says, ‘The End is Near!” If I hear one more announcement about digital TV and ordering a convertor box, I’m going to go postal!
If I were a visitor from another planet, I would think that the highest priority among humans is to make sure they don’t lose a television signal for a microsecond. That broadcasting in digital is the pinnacle of truth, that receiving the signals in colorful plasma is the ecstacy of human experience, that a hand around a black rectangular box which controls the oracle is the power of one’s very destiny, and that the idea of it’s loss is a thought more untenable than an apocalyptic event.
Would it be sacrilegious to stand with a cross and a sign that says “Get Converted over to DTV before the analog world ends!”
Now that is a thought! Maybe the end of television would indeed be the end of the world for so many of us. What could be more tragically final than no TV? There was an survey done a few years back which determined that the majority of Americans would rather spend six months in hell than six months without a TV. Which makes me wonder, how much relief could one get in hell by having a TV to watch? I’d rather be in hell with a TV than in my comfortable living room without one? Oh my Gog and Magog! What was I thinking!!!!?????
Meet me at the corner of First and Church. We gotta help get the message out. The end of the analog world is near.

I believe signs and wonders are to follow those who believe … unfortunately, those who believe often carry signs that make one wonder! Even more unfortunate are the numbers of people who would pay attention to the message about TV before a message that affects eternal life.
Thanks for the comment. You know, I’ve heard that some people believe Charleton Heston was actually Moses!
