"Guardian has determined that your software must be updated." That was the incredibly creepy message that greeted me when I switched on my television today. Just who is this Orwellian Guardian, and why has he or she taken over my television when I just want to watch CNBC?

Well, m.v., I am sitting at my personal desk on the 5th floor of the Central library zapping lunch in the microwave.

Could be, BGO.
My "Guardian," however, reports my viewing habits to its evil overlords at Time Warner Inc.

Your TV has been liberated by the glorious guardian of freedom. Please do not resist.
On more serious note, I think this seems like perfectly fine text which the word "Guardian" made kinda creepy. Should've found better name for whatever system is that.
