   Hello Hugues, Of all the posts about the documentary 'the Bronswick Affair'   
   yours is the most accurate. I fell for this story, completely. I remember the   
   TV set was the common denominator found in a group's research into out of   
   character purchases of    
   products eventually leading to the manufacturers of the Bronswick TV Co who   
   employed a scientist to produce the 'techno evil' device which was placed in   
   their TVs. When he committed suicide, the outraged city rose up (Toronto?) and   
   destroyed the company.   
   .
