TV, mind rot or not? Well, we don't really care either way, but there probably isn't a better device for mindless entertainment, information and education; apart of course, from the web.
Here at MVC we happened upon these little retro TV's complete with dials, knobs and one speaker (There is nothing more retro than mono.) I'm sure if these were real TV's they'd also be black and white. But seeing as they aren't real, why not inject a little colour and personality of your own. It's a hell of a lot easier than wearing the real thing around your neck and you're less likely to need a trip to A&E.
So what TV show has been your dirty little secret? What TV show had you mesmerised, wearing naff t-shirts and pinning posters on your bedroom wall? What pop video had you dancing like no-one could see you, only to bruise your knee on the coffee table?
We've created a couple of examples for your amusements (via Photoshop, for speed. For the genuine process, read below.)
Insert images....
Google, then size the title image from your favourite show, music video, movie, commercial or even album cover. Cut around it and glue it onto your TV. For extra protection and staying power, spray with a gloss/matt varnish (purchased from any hobby store.) This will not only keep your picture water/perfume proof but will also protect your brass from tarnishing. Enjoy!
