one of my friends got this on his TV,

he has NORMAL CABLE, NOT DIGITAL OR ANYTHING.

what do you all think?

Me thinks it was a screw up by the vision mixer in the studio.

RangerJoe · Feb 25, 2003

says its been going on for 2 weeks

I.M.O.G. · Feb 25, 2003

looks like a hoax.

RangerJoe · Feb 25, 2003

you think he photoshoped it?

I.M.O.G. · Feb 25, 2003

someone might have, is that picture directly from him?

Johnny Knoxville · Feb 25, 2003

looks like BS to me...

RangerJoe · Feb 25, 2003

directly from him, he took it 15 minutes ago

RangerJoe · Feb 25, 2003

im having him retake a pic for you guys

I.M.O.G. · Feb 25, 2003

well i am not sure what that will prove... it could be hoaxed a lot of ways i guess. it would be interesting to see another picture. i don't know, i just don't know how you would get a message like that on your tv.

I.M.O.G. · Feb 25, 2003

it looks a lot like the box that comes up when you have subtitles on and the setting isnt right actually... except the text looks green instead of white. i still dont know why it would list microsoft there. unless maybe they rented that black space from the tv manufacturer for advertising.

RangerJoe · Feb 25, 2003

text looks green because its an old TV, and i dont get the microsoft thing...never have seen anything like this...subtitle menus should resize the actual picture, and put a box below it, at least they do on my TV,

i don't think MS would go through the trouble of hacking a TV broadcast to pimp thier name. it would be much easier to just pay for a commercial slot wouldn't it?

i'm not saying it's a photoshopped picture, i'm just saying that i don't think MS is behind it.

It's a subliminal message: It flashes so quickly on the screen that you don't consciously recognize the message, but it registers in your brain. Bill Gates is BRAINWASHING us, & we don't even realize it

LOL -Dave

Have you considered that it could even be a real ad? Lots of companies have tried something like this and we do not find out what the real deal is until they have run five or six of the commercials.

I am reminded of the MTV show from several years ago "Pirate TV" It was a real show but the promos looked like they were hacking the sattelite uplink.

RangerJoe · Feb 26, 2003

sure it could be an ad..but we have all seen an real MS ad, and they are nice. not a black box that gives a URL and some code...if microsoft wanted to advertise, they wouldnt pop up a crappy message on 1 channel only some of the time

WhiteHawk · Feb 26, 2003

pic doesnt work for me. i wanna see it!

Th0r · Feb 26, 2003

It could be that he has hooked his PC to the TV and has got a TV program he has recorded on then put that on it.....pritty simple and easy todo...

Molybdym · Feb 26, 2003

I'm in agreeance with motive. Why would they even want to do something like this? Other than this kind of talking, but we do this every day.
My example of this is the Carrot Top commercials. They are hideous, and the man is just not that funny. . . but we can all remember what the product is, right?
So why would MS go and do this?

Th0r · Feb 26, 2003

It would be pritty dumb for MS to dp this...
