Comcast and PayPal Plan to Let You Donate to Obama and Romney Campaigns With Your Television


PayPal has signed deals with Comcast and TiVo that will allow you to use your remote control to order items you see on television. Basically, you’ll be able to see a commercial, click a few buttons on the remote, and have crap show up at your door. Another feature offered through PayPal TV—assuming that the campaigns embrace the new product—would be the ability to make campaign contributions to President Barack Obama or Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney after their television ads air. The future, people…it’s here. [Hollywood Reporter]
