I’m assuming that everyone is familiar with Brazil (the movie not the country). Ya know the bit in the movie where the main character meets the rouge applience repair man? (And idolizes his reject of society’s rules).
Ok, keep that in mind as I give you an article from the local paper.
RESIDENTS REJOICE AS TV BAN IS LIFTED IN KABUL
(Fix-it man risked life to keep sets tuned in)
Wed, November 21, 2001
The news article is about two brave individuals who, in their own ways fought against the Taliban. One was a rouge TV repair man, “[Television repair] was very dangerous work. You could be put in prison for six months if you were caught.” The other was the owner of a TV VCR store who managed to keep selling TVs and VCRs despite the ban on them.
I found it amusing.
