Holy crap that was hilarious, only because all of it is so true (that's the sad part) Loved the contrast ratio one. Yes a contrast ratio so high, that blacks are blacker than true black.
3D so life like the character on screen will pimp slap you for wasting the extra money to see it in lame 3D (Journey to the center of the earth anyone);
A few more to add. False frequency responses from companies, yes it will reach 12hz but you only need ultra high gain microphones in an acoustically treated aneoic chamber and ears that can hear a mouse fart at 1000 yards to hear it. (cough -cough DefTech cough-cough).
MonsterCable, what a great deal spending 100.00 on a six foot cable that will give me better than live colors and sound so life like I'll think dead singers have risen to personally sing "L.A. Woman" in my living room, and oh yeah this cable does nothing more than the 3.00 online cable will do. Thanks douchers.
Any company and directors that loves to double dip (ahem Peter Jackson and George Lucas) Great I get to spend again for the doubly impressive super enhanced, special directors edition that shows Greedo not only shooting first (and missing at close range) but the fact that Greedo was also scratching the sack and flirting with the one eyed trombone player in the cantina, all for 30.00 more bucks.
Bose marketing, say that Yugo does get great mileage doesn't it. Asshats.
Any new model that does less of what the previous model does for more money. Say Onkyo where did that reciever lose all that weight, must've saved money to put less than steller amps and charge more and then use that extra ducets towards training your customer service agents.
I agree with your statement on Big Box employees, I find it intriguing that stores like WorstBuy hire the mentally challanged and place them in sections of the store they know nothing about because that section is doing poorly. Say Steve is doing fantastic in TV's and is selling alot (cause Steve knows his shyt about TV's) so lets' put him in washer and dryers so he can work his magic there. Bastages.
Any company that tries to push extended warranties down your throat. This TV is the best on the planet gets 8 Billion to 1 contrast ratio and can upscale your super8 film to better than 4K resolution, but hey don't forgot to spend an extra 500 on that extended three year warranty (when the company includes a two year warranty) Hmmm 500.00 for an extra year where that TV's chances of breaking down are about as good as winning the lottery. Thanks for sticking it to me again without the descency of a reach around. And along those same lines, touting calibration for that new TV, wow only 300.00 more dollars to do what a 15.00 calibration disc will do, gee thanks dorksquad, you really do care about me.
Great article, I loved every reading moment of it.
