Bloggers behaving badly: Gizmodo messes with CES flat screens

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

> From the Crave Blog:

"The Gizmodo kids pulled a good stunt at CES: they fired TV-B-Gone remotes at walls of shiny new monitors on display 
and during press conferences, much to the displeasure of booth staffers.

The video is funny. The ramifications of prank will not be.
The CES organizers only grudgingly gave bloggers press credentials to the conference, and even then kept them segregated into a 
working lounge that was a step down in amenity and luxury from the "press" lounge and work area.
This prank will not endear the blogging class to either the CEA, which produces CES, or the companies that paid dearly for 
the right to occupy CES floorspace and show off their products."
