Comments by "" (@neilpatrickhairless) on "UNSOLVED: The Creepiest TV Hack in History" video.

  1. I ran a pirate AM transmitter that was originally a transmitter for a drive-in movie theater with a tunable crystal that would oscillate at certain frequencies on shortwave. Would blast off of the top of a nearby mountain with the TX antenna tied to a bigger legit radio and TV mast. We never gave a station ID or took QSLs so I have no idea how far we got out but shortwave signals can stretch a ways even from a small transmitter

  2. Something I really never see anyone point out is that a lot of Max' dialog references one thing being replaced with something else that is essentially the same. Swirsky being replaced during the hijacking by Max. Clutch Cargo. The technology used in that show being replaced with digital computer generated 3D art which emerged in the 80's, Coke vs Pepsi leading to New Coke (Pepsi Challenge), "Marital aid" replacing a dysfunctional male appendage, "Your Love is Fading", a Motown song about an unfaithful lover, The captions in the video itself aren't accurate in some parts, he says "that's what you get for recycling" after the line about the glove. This may be a reference to the recycling programs starting up in the 80's in Chicago and recycling being the act of taking something, recycling it into something else and replacing the original item with usually a similar product or at least made from similar materials. The entire dialog seems to be a metaphorical array of cultural references dealing with replacement.
