I seem to remember one of these a long time ago. Maybe on the Today Show in the J. Fred Muggs era. That one was much slower and had a manikin hand turn the switch off.
@stickler: I remember that. It was funny every goddam time.
Ladies and gentlemen, our political system in a nutshell.

WTF happened in Denver?
And before the NRA says it I will say it. “If more people were armed in that cinema, fewer would have died”
Except for the bit where the cops go in and shoot anyone with a gun in their hand.
(I tip another god fearing xtian not doubting god’s word put in his brain)
@CheapBoy:
Guy with a gun sees the shooter dropping bystandters and starts shooting at him, shooter begins returning fire. Another guy, not in the theater but with a gun hears the shooting, rushes in, sees the guys shooting at each other, makes a guess as to which one is the bad guy and starts shooting at him. Kills the wrong guy. Meanwhile, the psychopath shooter turn on him and kills him. This brings a fourth guy guy who starts exchanging fire with the shooter and kills him, but now a fifth guy rushes in, and shoots the fourth guy thinking he’s the psychopathic gunman.
And ’round and ’round it goes. When it stops? Nobody knows.
