CNN commentator says something like, “Supporters of Terri Schiavo’s parents took their case to the steps of the Supreme Court today.” An image of the Supreme Court building appears on the screen, complete with various protesters milling about. Clearly visible in the distance is a sign — the only legible sign in the picture — that says, “Don’t take away my TiVo!”
My friend Lynn always thought it would be fun to show up at a protest with signs for some random, unrelated cause. Save the Whales at a pro-gay rally. Free Tibet at a pro-life rally. That sort of thing.
The “don’t take away my TiVo” was likely in response to the file sharing case at the Supreme Court right now…I pray we (not the recording/movie studios) win….we have both Breyer and Scalia on our side with Kennedy seemingly opposing us….scary.
