With TiVo, it knows you're a dog...
From the Wall Street Journal - If TiVo Thinks You Are Gay, Here's How to Set It Straight
Mr. Iwanyk, 32 years old, first suspected that his TiVo thought he was gay, since it inexplicably kept recording programs with gay themes. A film studio executive in Los Angeles and the self-described "straightest guy on earth," he tried to tame TiVo's gay fixation by recording war movies and other "guy stuff."Now if I only had a TiVo for it to think me gay, or Korean, or a Nazi..."The problem was, I overcompensated," he says. "It started giving me documentaries on Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Eichmann. It stopped thinking I was gay and decided I was a crazy guy reminiscing about the Third Reich."
