As A Toddler: I believed TV was a RUSSIAN TRICK sent over via satelite FROM RUSSIA for the sole purpose of spying on us and I thought they saw us thru the white noise and that I could see them if I stood really close to it side ways at the corners! I was always told by my parents to stop standing so close to it and THIS verified my beliefs it was the communists tool to take over & spy on our country or why else were my folks so scared for me to stand so close to it?
