Hooked on TV

11 March 2000

Couch potatoes who can’t quite muster the energy to go fishing can now go
“channel fishing” with the Spinmaster 2000, a universal DVD/CD/TV remote control
that comes in the shape of a fishing-rod handle with a reel crank on the side.
Spinning the reel lets you scroll through channels or adjust the volume. The
remote, even boasts “fishing sound effects” presumably for that thrilling whoosh
of a line being cast. (www.smarthome.com/8028. html). Other themed remote
controls include light sabres and phasers.
