    I'm guessing this was intentional. I bet living on death row isn't much fun.

    you guys are all missing it completely. this guy was obviously ahead of his time. he was making some toilet wine and knew that running a current through it would help the taste. guy was so dedicated he was willing to sacrifice his body to get a current from the tv to his toilet. for his craft he ended up paying the ultimate price.

    Great! How long until our TV's come with a little tag on the cord with a naked man sitting on a metal toilet biting into a wire while it is plugged in? Of course it will have the red circle around it with the line through it telling you not to do what was described above.

    @sir_pantsalot: I have that exact icon blown up as a poster in my bedroom. Well, pretty close anyway. Mine doesn't have the red circle/line thingie. Oh, and in my version, it's also not a power cord in his mouth...

    @Andre Oceans: "I'm going to stuff you in this box. Now, would you rather be alive or dead?" Naturally, you'd prefer to be alive. Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance, at least. You could lie there thinking, "Well. At least I'm not dead. In a minute somebody is going to bang on the lid, and tell me to come out." [bangs on lid] "Hey, you! What's your name? Come out of there!"

    And he thinks that you have really dropped the ball on your required sacrifices and proper prostration before him. Get to it, or be smited... smot... smitten?

    he was on the toilet... and if he's anything like me he uses the toilet with his pants down and butt touching the seat.
