If you love LCD TV's, go to Best Buy NOW!! RIGHT NOW!!!
They have a 3.2 Acre LCD TV on sale for $749,000, marked down from $1.2 million!!

I was all set to buy it, until they told me that the "mounting kit", which consists of 2 structural engineers and a crane, costs $3.2 million.

What do they think? I'm made of money?

3. Aside from the mounting kit...
I was also concerned with the disclaimer they wanted me to sign. Something about them not being responsible about me burning my retinas.

4. We likely would erect it in our backyard....
build some parking spaces... wire it to a low-band FM station... serve pretzels and funnel cakes...

7. I'm sorry. Perhaps I am not too sensitive to the financial plight of others, but...
I would not need "parking spaces".

My friends have so much money, they travel via "personal jet packs" strapped to their back.

2. Only 3.2 acres?
Well I guess I could put one in the bathroom.

10. I cannot believe you are so behind the times.
All of my party guests are provided with comfortable "personal catheters".

The toilet in my bathroom is merely for "nostalgic show purposes".

6. I'd love to but I cant; my house isn't sitting on bedrock.
That's one of the requirements: the mounting kit must rest directly on bedrock.

9. No you are wrong...
And they did not understand this at Best Buy either.

Most modern homes today have "forced air blasters" installed on the lot, which blows extreme compressed air out from the ground, thus allowing the big screen to "float".

Most homes built after 1998 have this feature.

15. Call them up....
and demand a refund for the difference between what you paid, and the on sale price.

Times are tough.

Every penny counts.

It is not like this is a luxury item, it is a necessity.
