When some of us recently looked at the new accessories for the iPod, somebody had the idea to use the iTrip thing (this transmitter that somehow is able to hijack FM frequencies to take over the IP system of a subway train to blast some of that... well, what could we possibly blast?... Some music...
Imagine that? It would be like audio graffiti like having the full train as a blaster... yeah...
We then decided that the Subway trains in New York are most likely to use a wired system... oh and if I can not decide what to blast now... what would I blast if I actually could?... (Though I have been listening to the Strokes a lot recently... oh well...
So tonight... somebody actually managed to hijack the sound system on my train home... now that was pretty exciting... and what did they blast?...
Their transmission was not very long... it was obviously two individuals... the first one just said: "Everybody on this train is gay!" (he had a rather freshly rented manly voice) the other person asked a question: "wanna lick my ba**s?" hmm... Sounds like a clear proof that having the power to do something does not really mean that one has the ability to do that thing right...
Hmm, and that was just on a train... imagine somebody took over an entire country... just a thought...
(the conductor warned that he would take the train out of service... and yet he did not... oh well...)
