Stop shooting your TVs, Mormons


Following the digital transition, officials in Utah are apparently worried that people might use their old, useless tvs for shootin' practice. So worried in fact, that they've issued a directive that people, you know, NOT do that:
With the recent switch to all digital television, there are plenty of TVs collecting dust. The BLM warns that electronic devices like TVs, computer monitors and even cell phones potentially toxic elements. If they're not disposed of properly, the devices pose a threat to the environment. Officials say it can cost up to seven-grand to clean-up a shot-up TV set.
Seriously? Seven grand to clean up a TV? I'm clearly in the wrong industry. In lieu of this, I'm officially announcing the closing of bambat so that I can head West and earn my fortune as a TV cleaner-upper. Wish me luck, loyal readers, I leave this land a mere boy but when I return.. I shall be a man.

Alternatively, just stop shooting your TVs, Cleetus.
