    Hooking smart TVs up to the Internet looks increasingly like a bad idea, though not usually for the reason found in this case. TV manufacturers have taken what should have been a useful feature and turned it into a way to spy on what you’re watching and to push ads to your TV.

    Now you can add “showing naked, cocaine-packaging factory workers to Oklahoma Board of Education members” to the list of grievances.

    Your tax dollars at work, Oklahomans.
