Guru Meditation in Public Places

Astrofra · 14 March 2013, 08:43

Back then in the 90's, when we had (at least in France) local TV channels using Amigas (and Scala, most probably), it happened a couple of times that a Guru Meditation was genlocked and broadcasted ON AIR

By searching on the internet, you can find such a thing [ Show youtube player ].

Anyway, it's unlikely today that we could witness a GuruMed being displayed in a public place, so I started to create this sort of stupid collection of fakes :

I'm not really sure this topic suits the "Nostalgia & Memories" forum, but I don't really know where to post it

The danish newspaper/tabloid ekstrabladet.dk has a guru meditation page when a server error occurs (not the red rectangle, just the text). I don't know how to provoke it into showing it, but it has been there for many years.

My other idea was stunned Teletubbie with guru on his 'display'

i've seen that.. I think it's the standard error page of their cms system that they just didn't customize..

Around 2000 it happened for real here in the UK, twice!

Once was on a Sky channel and the other one was on ITV (ITV1 as it is now known). I only witnessed it happening on ITV, but back then I didn't know anything about Amiga's (nor did I own one).
