...I talk to the manager on duty and ask that the channel be changed to something quiter. Usually there is someone ranting and raving so it isn't too hard to make the case that it is disturbing and it would be better to have something like cnn on. I usually get positive results.

I also used to have stickers that said Turn FOX Off. I got them from The Color of Change . If I don't get positive results I could plaster one right on the screen. But "it would be wrong."

Gee, wonder what happened to all my stickers? I used to have so many of them....
