Every January the electronic and computer companies promote their newest products at the Las Vegas convention center, which strangely coincides with the adult entertainment industry’s annual Awards Banquet in America’s City of Sin. XXX and IT go hand in hand since 95% of internet traffic is porno-bound judging from the SPAM dumped on the website and to celebrate this profitable union Panasonic wowed the attendees and competition with their 150-inch plasma TV at CES 2008.
150 inches translates into approx. 3.8 meters for those metricophiles living outside the USA and UK. This SUV TV’s exact measurements of 11 feet by 6.25 feet is bigger than my old East Village apartment’s bedroom and its 8.84 million pixels of resolution guarantee its position as a must-have for TV fanatics once this behemoth hits the market.
Personally I don’t need TV to be bigger than life, but I’ll predict that within the year Hollywood will produce a film about a man stepping into a giant TV to live with commercials and soaps with his destinations are controlled by the remote control wielded by his 3 year-old son. Unfortunately his deeply religious wife had locked the remote against accidental or intentional porno surfing.
“Don’t send me to Jerry Springer.”
When I was a kid my father used to say, “Talking to you while your watching the boob tube is like speaking to the wall.”
Panasonic 150 plasma TV has now replaced the wall, but the boob tube remainds the boob tube since the content against appeals to the Lowest Common Denominator of the Mankind’s intelligence.
Sensation as demonstrated by Woody Allen’s quip, “My brain is my second favorite organ.”
Of course Thai women would love this TV for total immersion into their soaps. Bigger mia nois, bigger heart-throbs, bigger tears.
