Well, maybe you've come up with some amazing way to make electricity bolt
out the front of a monitor, Dick. But last I checked, this has never
happened, or at least has not happened enough to be a major epidemic.
Considering there are millions of monitors out there, you'd think that
this would happen a considerable number of times, but alas, it has not, so
there goes another one of your characteristically stupid theories.
