Big Brother Is Watching Us Via The Television.
Keep your clothes on. Big Brother is watching.
You have no idea how hard this is to do, especially after hearing her explanation.
Cashier: “I think that’s what they’re doin’ with that new digital television requirement- keeping track of us.”
Me: Nodding my head, squeezing my mouth so tight, my dimples are bursting.
Cashier: “I can be sittin’ there and all of a sudden these little pictures within a picture will pop up-with squiggly lines. Makes ya wonder dudn’t it?”
Me: “Oh yeah, it does.” (Wanting to tell her maybe it’s not freaking hooked up correctly)
Cashier: “And here I’ve walked ’round the house nekkid. I know this guy who works for Verizon- said they wire yer house and hear what’s goin’ on even if yer not on the phone.”
Me: “Well, now, that’s really scary. I talk to myself all the time.” (Hoping this would make her feel more sane)
Thankfully, a customer walks in and I end the conversation with a, “have a good one.”
Now, if the US government is watching us through our televisions, this means, since I have satellite, I’ve been beamed all over the world-and probably given a heck of a show. I’m thinking compensation is in order. Me, sitting on my couch, half naked, putting on my makeup while watching TV-pure entertainment. I want my government issued check.
Beth, I wasn’t going to say anything but … you might want to check out channel 427 after hours
Sounds kind of dirty. And I’ll be sure to check it out.
This paranoia about the government spying on its own citizens seems to be a particularly American thing.
Yes, we’re quite the paranoid country, aren’t we? Then again, America was kind of built upon paranoia. Maybe we should all be on Prozac.
Haha, a local nut has been raving about the same thing. (he stands on the sidewalk and yells about the end of all things!)
His latest rant and “cause” was that Starchoice wanted to spy on us

You might want to look up the claim on snopes.com, which is rather credible in matters of this sort.
It’s also been proven false:

I get these people all the time as well. And it always is some really bizzare conversation. It takes all sorts
As you said, smile and nod

I assure you it is not if you’ve been to any major city in the UK recently you’ll find CCTV cameras everywhere.
Not to mention loyalty cards do you realise a store can tell you more about your family than most families can.
BB is alive and well and living in England.

I know about the traffic/street cams and store cards- most stores here in the US will ask for your zip code and phone number- and you can refuse. But she was talking about the government actually being able to view you in your home via cameras, or the telephone.
I have the same thing happen to me too. You ask somebody politely “How are you today”? And then they proceed to tell you their whole life story and what a horrible life they have had; by the time they are done, you feel like killing yourself for asking in the first place.
