ENF-127 - TV

Item #: ENF-127
Object Class: Pink

Containment Procedures: ENF-127 has been declared safe for recreational use, and is currently mounted on the wall of Research Facility 1-A's central break room. Foundation staff are asked not to monopolize the couch, and to ensure the space between the cushions is free from dropped popcorn. ENF-127 is to be kept on at all times, and all footage it displays should be copied to Foundation archives.

Description: ENF-127 is a top-range widescreen TV with startlingly good image quality and no identifying brand features that displays, in real time, the single most embarrassing thing happening to any woman anywhere in the world. Its definitions of "embarrassing" and "woman" are specific enough to ensure that the women are always attractive and the embarrassment always involves nudity, or at least the conspicuous absence of key garments.

It was discovered by a motorcycle repairman in a Hanoi electronics market in 1988, and purchased for half a million dollars by Foundation acquisition agents in 1993. Attempts to bargain with the repairman were made, but that was the lowest he could go.
