You Heard it Here First: TiVO Will Cause a Homicide or Divorce One Day

I walk into my home after work yesterday and see that thing staring at me-- that "thing" is the red light on my TiVO meaning a show is recording.

You ask, "what's weird about TiVO recording? that's it's job." The issue is that I had not set it up to record anything. See, TiVO is like Big Brother, always watching you, always recommending shows it thinks you might like based upon your previous selections.

That's a problem in my mind. Perhaps, I don't need to be ratted out by my TiVO.

You see where I'm going with this? Let's say the wife goes out of town one weekend, TiVo sees what someone enjoys watching "Harlem Hookers" so it decides to record everything from "Naughty Nurses" to "Arse Pirates." How's that gonna look when the wife, significant other, baby's momma comes back in town and sees all that crap sitting in list of recorded items? I predict World War 3 in the trailer park when that stuff gets uncovered.

At least in the olden days you only got busted if you were too stupid to leave the tape in the VCR or you mixed up the tape boxes and sent "Horny Housewives" back to Blockbuster in the "Finding Nemo" box. However, even the latter was okay because the 15-year-old pimple-faced teenager at the video rental store won't bust you-- he'll think he's won the lottery.

Thanks for your help TiVO / Satan / Hal, but I think I'll take it over from here.
