You think that's weird?

pod — 10/9/2008 2:48:03 AM (archived)

Saw this on our tube several years ago (2003):

Analog Sony TV. Analog cable. The Black Rectangle would show up and not go away unless you changed the channel. Then it'd come back. This would go on for an hour or so and then go away.

Then, once or twice, there was the scrolling code.

This was not photoshopped.

I've other photos, all very blurry (because it was scrolling and I was trying different photo settings).

Recently, I was in an airport lounge where the TV had the Black Rectangle.

Go figure.
