![There’s a photo series in The Washington Post today that shows BestBuy technicians installing LCD TVs. Are you paying attention, Mr. Pulitzer?
Tube TVs, as I discuss in my book, are obsolete. Perhaps that is why I have one. It’s massive. When I bought it in 2006—after a friend assured me the picture quality was better than any flat screen set, as if I’d be able to tell the difference anyway—it took me and three girlfriends an hour to get it out of the box. And two of those girlfriends were men. Occasionally, when my bank account reaches triple digit territory, I think about replacing it, but then I feel guilty about all the landfill space it’ll take up. I mean, the thing is huge. It’s so big that if it were a person I’d be asking it to pay rent.
Whatever. TV is overrated anyway. Especially when you can watch a big dog lick a little dog every night for free for hours at a time.
