widescreen

today a madman entered the largets tower in this country to take hostage of 8 to 10 men, reason: not happy with his  philips widescreen tv-set . He claimed that the new system with black parts on top and bottom of the sreen is filled with secret messages… And that the sellers are misleading innocent customers by selling creative nonsense…
He stayed in the building for almost 8 houres, the wrong building btw, because the mainoffice of philps move last summer to the building nextdoors. to act like this on this memoral day is very bitter. he had two guns and some bombs whith him. luckely no innocent peolpe where (physically) hurt. he committed suicide in the end by firing two bullits through his own head on the toilets…. ( cnn report / bbc report  / planet internet with video)

weird thing was I was attending an ‘evacuation’ meeting when I got the news… the guy talked about an emergency situation like the one going on in the Philips HQ nearby…


letter he wrote in 1998 to AD newspaper in which he complains about the 20% black on his tv-screen
