Holy shit that TV-B-Gone is awesome:

Tired of all those LCD TVs everywhere?
Want a break from advertisements while you're trying to eat?
Want to zap screens from across the street?

The TV-B-Gone kit is what you need! This ultra-high-power, open source kit version of the popular TV-B-Gone is fun to make and even more fun to use. This version is best used in countries with NTSC: North America & Asia.

Man I want one.

If I was doing that presentation and my job was on the line I would kick some Gizmodo ass, or at least ban them from attending next year.

Hilarious, yet complete douchebaggery. People seeing that happen in the show would have their opinions on the products being displayed affected by the "technical" problems of the presentation.

Wow what wankers messing with other peoples displays.

This would be funny in many situations, however you're messing with people's livelihood. This is NOT cool.
