Correction, they're right ignorant, smart, or very smart.

Ignorant: accepts everything, connects tv to internet.

Smart: Blocks Tv from internet.

Very Smart: removes the WiFi chip from the TV. Stuffs the LAN cable with caulk. Boom, subsidized TV.

Genius: creates their own TV OS for their specific TV and deletes the regular OS.
