Nintendo DS Emitting Anomalous Signal?
An Anonymous reader writes "An owner of Nintendo's Shiny New Portable, has noticed his DS is emitting a signal that is projecting a ghostly image of his screen onto his TV- and he's not even multiplayer gaming. He and several others have uploaded photos of their DSs interfering with their TV's reception. As one forum-goer points out, this doesn't seem like the DS is adhering to FCC standards." More news from a forum, so enjoy some NaCl with this.
If the FCC has arbitrary standards for indeceny why not WIFI?

"Wow! It must be some hidden feature that Nintendo will release an add-on for!" And your blender is sending "special messages" to your TV everytime you turn it on. I wonder if KitchenAid is going to release an add-on so you can watch your blending live on television?

This is clearly intentional, doodz and this is how it happens.
The DS uses super-sekrit rays which come out of the batteries (or maybe the thumbpad i dont no im just a leet), which beam to a satellite near the moon which nintendo has which then transmits to your tv. It works even with your radio, makes pictures on the screen if u dont have 1 u need a dot matrix printer it workz with those 2.
This is uber, we can use a HANDHELD on the TV! I think we shud make a mod so we can take the screenz off the DS and put in a bigscreen TV insted! r0xx0r!
"It has been discovered that portions of a recent batch of DS units were accidentally exposed to a paranormal mutagenic agent before shipment.
The unfortunate result is that some DS units are possessed by demonic spirits, and have been known to display erratic behavior, including but not limited to: emitting strange ghost signals, shooting protoplasm, and spontaneously opening dimensional rifts to hell.
If you have experienced any of these irregularities yourself, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please mail your DS to our new Exorcist Repairs Department and we will repair it free of charge."
BTW, has anyone noticed that giant fetus that appears to be orbiting Jupiter all of a sudden? Where the hell did that come from?
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
Looks like we should have left one more.
Oh great, now I need tinfoil for my TV too. This is just the MAN trying to bankrupt me by increasing my need for tinfoil.
Hey we may be a bunch of freakin nerdos but our site is purple and not a default phpBB template so there.
Dunno. My POS microwave puts out so much interference that the TV gets wavy lines. I wonder if I should check to see if I'm getting cooked??!
The 12 year old 3733t gam3r logic on the warp pipe forums is classic. The DS shouldn't generate interference so therefore Nintendo are doing this deliberately! Woot!
