It's being sold as a burglar deterrent, but Engadget, BoingBoing and the FakeTV people themselves have got it all wrong.
The FakeTV people ought to realize what they have, because it's all right there in their website copy:
Just like a real TV, FakeTV fills a room with color changes, both subtle and dramatic, in thousands of possible shades. Like real television programming, FakeTV is constantly shifting among more and less dynamic periods, more vivid and more monochromatic, and brighter and darker scenes.I don't know about you, but that sounds just like every episode of Lost I've ever seen.
But here's the kicker:
FakeTV is completely unpredictable, and it never repeats.That makes it superior to almost everything that's on real TV. And with no costly subscriptions, tangled cables, converter boxes, or DVRs--nothing more to buy, ever!
Why waste your hard-earned dollars on a giant HDTV to watch predictable crap and reruns, when you can watch all-new content, all the time, at a fraction of the cost? At just $39.99, you can buy one for every room. I mean, hey, it's all just colorful lights and moving shapes anyway.
FakeTV people, if you'd like to buy ad space on my blog, I'll give you prime real estate. I'd like to become your spokesperson. I'll be your Billy Mays. I'll sell the shit out of these things.

Lord knows, it couldn't be WORSE.
And I guess we'd finally see the end of "reality TV."
