There's a huge difference in plasma and LCD burn-in. Plasma burn-in is caused by uneven phosphor wear and is more-or-less permanent. What is called "burn-in" in LCDs is simply the individual crystals getting stuck in place after being exposed to a static image, and most of the time it is completely reversible. You just need to somehow generate a moving, high luminance pattern and let it loop for a while. I've seen it done by hooking up a video camera to an LCD set with a burn problem, pointing the camera at a bright light and "scrubbing" the image over the bad area of the panel. It took a few tries, but it worked. There is also at least one DVD available for purchase that carries a title meant for this purpose.

Yeah, but I like the idea of burning a nasty pr0n image into somebody's screen while they are on vacation! Regardless of whether it can be reversed or not, the look on the guy's face when he discovered an enormous schwanzstucker appears on his TV no matter what he does would be priceless!

Sheer evil genius! [evil]

Best man rigs bed to "Tweet" whenever newlyweds have sex in bed.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/13/AR2009121300007.html?waporef=ak

quote:
When a man in the UK was asked to be the best man at his friend's wedding, he was touched. So touched, that he promised not to pull any pranks before or during the wedding. After the wedding though, that's another story.

This man, who is choosing to stay anonymous, has set up this Twitter account for the sole purpose of automatically tweeting when the newlyweds are having sex. I'm not kidding. Read the entire tweet stream from the bottom up if you want the full story. But basically, this guy was watching his friend's house while they went on their honeymoon and he placed a device under their mattress. This device, which is similar to the one found here, is a pressure-sensitive pad that tweets out when sexual activity starts, when it ends, the force of the "action," and a "frenzy" rating.

MAN who got his Manhood stuck in a steel pipe! [Eek!]

Daily Echo

"A MAN who got his genitalia stuck in a steel pipe had to be cut free by eight firefighters using an industrial grinder.

The heavy duty cutting gear had to be used to remove the three-inch long hollow pipe after medics were unable to release it.

The painstaking operation, which involved eight firefighters, took around an hour.

The drama began after the man took himself to the accident and emergency department of Southampton General Hospital.

Restricted blood flow had left the man in a state of arousal, and unable to remove the pipe.

Staff there were so concerned that they phoned the emergency services and a crew from Redbridge Fire Station were initially dispatched.

But they had to bring in backup from St Mary’s station which has a fire truck equipped with specialist cutting gear.

A disc gutter cutter, with a four-and-a-half-inch blade, was used to slice open the stainless steel pipe.

The man, in his 30s, offered no explanation for his predicament but was said to be “quite concerned and anxious”. He had been given an anaesthetic to prepare for the procedure.

St Mary’s crew manager Adrian Johnson said: “It was a very delicate operation. We did not want anything heating up.

The person who did it deserves a commendation for his nerve and steady hand.”

Meanwhile, watch manager Greg Garrett from Redbridge station added: “I’ve only come across this type of thing three or four times in my 17 years as a firefighter. It’s not a daily occurrence.”

The man’s private parts were left bruised and swollen."

Some Readers Comments: "What next for him a man hole?"
"Ive heard of a rod of iron.....but come on. LOL"

'Told you I would shut her up': Man found guilty of slapping toddler in Walmart

Tue Jan 19, 8:20 PM

By The Associated Press

ATLANTA - A Georgia man has been found guilty of second degree child cruelty for slapping a crying 2-year-old at a Walmart.

Roger Stephens of Stone Mountain was convicted Tuesday in a Gwinnett County bench trial, which is held without a jury.

Stephens, who was 61 when arrested, will spend six months in jail followed by six months of home confinement.

Authorities say the girl and her mother were shopping on Aug. 31, when the toddler began crying. The police report says Stephens approached the mother and said, "If you don't shut that baby up, I will shut her up for you."

Authorities say Stephens then slapped her four or five times.

According to police, Stephens said: "See, I told you I would shut her up."

A call to Stephens' court-appointed lawyer was not immediately returned.
A national hero!! I hope there is a picture of the action over at the People of Wal*Mart website.

Crying children get on everyone's nerves, that can't be denied. But if it had been my wife and my child, your "national hero" would not have left the store alive.
