According to a wildly-popular video on YouTube, you can take over any video screen, any time.
All you need to do is to plug BITcrash44's tiny transmitter into the headphone jack of your iPhone. This transmits a copy of whatever is playing on your iPhone's screen to an equally-tiny companion device, called a repeater.
According to BITcrash44, if you place the repeater close to any video screen, it will "take over" that screen, replacing whatever is currently showing with the video signal from your iPhone.
At one point, the hoaxer duct-tapes his tiny repeater to a helium balloon and floats it upwards to "take over" a massive display screen located several metres above ground level.
It's all a load of garbage, of course. There's no "transmitter", and no "repeater". The YouTube video is just smoke and mirrors - a bunch of careful edits and effects.
This kind of hoax is mostly harmless, and is good fun to watch, because the video effects are cleverly and amusingly done. But when you stop to think about it, it's obviously a hoax, not least because the headphone jack of an iPhone doesn't provide video output at all.
