I call bullshit on this! Not that I'm denying the fact that our own government is spying on us. That much is very clear, particularly in todays society. Using covert methods they are able to monitor our phone calls, find out everything we've bought, set up psychological profiles to predict what we would want to buy, and all that stuff I totally believe in. What I have a hard time believing is how dumb the government would be to actually implant video survaillence in our converter boxes. I mean seriously lets think about this from a logical stand point.

Now I have no doubt that they are monitoring us but most certainly not in this way. Why do you ask? Because if I was trying to spy on someone I would use the most covert methods available and putting a camera in a tv converter is not covert in the least bit. Any idiot like this fake on youtube could open up a box and clearly see a video camera. And if this idiot can do it than more idiots can do it and eventually the word would spread like wild fire and guess what? You have a failed attempt at monitoring your citizens. I believe the government is watching us, but I don't believe the government is watching us in the most obvious ways that can easily be detectable like this myth going around. Come on guys, lets stay in touch with reality here.
