Everyone present will have their names go into a hat. If you get picked you will be handed the ceremonial weapon of your choice, don the sacrificial safety garb and then smash a tv. There are a number of televisions available for your smashing pleasure. Weapons available so far are: a brick, a sledgehammer, and an aluminium baseball bat (pictured). Please feel free to bring your own weapon. Anyone with a large double sided axe, a mace or a scythe is welcome. There is one condition for entry: throughout Tv Turnoff week 22nd - 28th April you must not watch television.

Television Sacrifice will improve your health:

- at the point of contact of weapon and television tube, endorphins will be released into the bloodstream, reducing stress and alleviating aggression.

- aiming the weapon will improve your hand to eye co-ordination

- whereas watching television will increase your levels of zombification, smashing television actually stimulates thinking and interaction with other humans.

Items to bring:
- Safety goggles / eye protection.
- Your favourite weapon, preferably large and heavy. No guns: sorry.
- Old/broken televisions (with tube intact).
