idiot box

A term developed by people who would have been horified if they'd known that the television would become relatively tame compared to all the other shitty electronic boxes developed since.

Joe, I'm tellin' ya, throw out that damned idiot box before the Missus and ya Chillun waste away before it. It'll be the end of the world it will.

Bloody hell they took it far enough with those damned idiot boxes, look at all these little toys they got out now for the kids, what's the world coming to eh?
