    Whenever evil antagonist broadcasts his evil message on every major advertisement screen and TV in the world (and PC/mobile device), with full audio.

    stupid rant
    1. Ad screens don’t have speakers you dolt

    2. No one in times square looks at the ad acreens except the tourists when taking a picture

    3. Not all ad screens can handle a live stream connection and you’d need to hack into each one to play your message.

    4. It is literally impossible for everyone to be conveniently watching the TV at the same time as everyone else across the globe

    5. Overriding every TV broadcast channel with your message requires an RF array an order of magnitude more powerful than Russia’s massive Murmansk-BN electronic warfare system.

    6. No one watches broadcast TV anymore in most developed countries

    7. The internet cannot handle a simultaneous stream of video to every digital device in the world without the use of multicast or broadcast, which means evil antangonist is either rolling in with hacking the entire internet backbone to enable multicast traffic or magically broadcasting a signal to devices that don’t support receiving a broadcast signal.

    8. Evil antagonist has to use multiple zero day CVEs just to force stream his evil message on PC/mobile devices for a whopping 30 seconds.
