UK Man's Phallus Controlled by Neighbor's Garage Door Opener

A Briton was having problems with erectile dysfunction. So, he did the natural thing and travelled to Turkey to have a controllable implant installed in his penis. An unfortunate side effect of the operation is that whenever his neighbor arrives home and opens the garage door, the signal causes an uncontrollable erection. He claims that UK doctors can't do anything about it. Our question is, if he's comfortable enough with it to call a radio show about it, why can't he explain the situation to his neighbor and have him change the DIP switches on the opener and remote so it operates on another frequency? [Note that the Register isn't sure if the guy was a fake.]

The guy couldn't take a pill like everyone else? Sounds fake to me.

Or, maybe he could change his own "DIP switches"...

This one doesn't pass the sniff test. The only "controllable" implants for ED that I have heard of (and it's not a subject I've done much research on) involve a pneumatic cylinder and a squeeze bulb that replaces one testicle. Assuming state of the art has advanced beyond this, I would also assume that they would not use an RF remote. And, if they for some odd reason DID use an RF remote they wouldn't use a garage door opener frequency. But hey, whoo knows what kind of prank those crazy Turks might play on an Englishman.

The Register has zero credibility. They pass on every rumor and bit of information that gets their site hits that they can. Ask the gang over at Kotaku, they've been burned by them before.

Focus people. The real question is: where can we get ourselves remote controlled woodies?

I don't know about remole woodies, but... one time in San Fracisco... this is actually to be filed under the "Jonny, no one will believe you no matter what" category... anyhow, was at a rather fun party and a bunch of remote control panties showed up... press the button and the girls get a little treat... adn five girls put them on and we figured out they're all controlled on the same frequency... and we had five plippers... Davey wasn't there, but he knows the ladies in question...
