"Electronic devices gone bad"
The TV - like refrigerators, shavers and vacuum cleaners - was simply doing what all electrical gizmos do: emitting energy. On this particular Saturday night, however, some hidden bit of the television's electronic innards simply went on the blink. And while the set appeared to be functioning normally, it was suddenly oozing energy at a frequency - 121.5 megahertz - that happens to be reserved for international distress signals.

This raises the inescapable question of what happens to electronic devices gone wild, and whether there will be a series of best-selling videos documenting their crazy antics in Miami, Palm Springs, and Jamaica.
