Sex or a 50" Plasma TV?
Would you give up sex for a 50" Plasma TV?

http://www.gadgetell.com/tech/comment/would-you-give-up-sex-for-a-50-inch-tv/

Quote:
Are you desperate enough to do anything just to own a 50-inch plasma TV? So desperate that you’re willing to give up sex for 6 months? Surprisingly, a new survey estimates that more than 25 million Brits find this proposition reasonable. No mate, this is not a joke!

Conducted by electrical retailer Comet among 2,000 respondents, about half (47%) of British men surveyed said yes to celibacy while only 35% of British women shared the same sentiment. It turned out vanity is the root of this craziness. In the words of the company’s Commercial Director, Bob Darke:

“We are surprised to see just how much the nation would be willing to give up for a 50-inch plasma TV. But we have seen a massive 7,000% uplift in sales of 50-inch TVs in the last two years. With more and more people aspiring to celebrity lifestyles, having an impressive entertainment system is becoming top-of-the-list for homeowners.”

Moreover, there are other activities the British blokes are willing to sacrifice. About 24% said they will stop smoking, 25% would no longer eat chocolates and 17% will not watch football. I hope there is an American version of this study to see the difference in behavior. How about you? Will you give up sex, too?

I bet porn looks pretty good on a 50'' Plasma screen. Mine is only 42'', so I can't comment...

Giving up sex also includes watching porn in 50" format.

You're definitely better off with your 42" ...

Do you project from across your backyard?
I prefer women smaller than myself ...

I fail to perceive the value of media versus good old fashioned trim!

A T.V. is a T.V. but a woman sitting on your face is a taste of heaven!!!!!

I've never had sex with a plasma, stripped bare of negativity, I'll bet it is hot and very positive.

Well, I feel cheated! I've gone for 6 months without any sex, but I didn't get a damned plasma TV. All I got was horney . . . .

They have the Roomba vacuum cleaner and the Shoomba robotic mopper. When the Poonba robotic sex toy comes out, I'm buying one!

All I can add is Gawd'elp us! What can replace the feeling of soft,yielding thighs drowning your face in beastly delights, and the indescribably feminine aroma emanating from the brinks of bliss,which if you're lucky she'll piss..........

Poonba! That's ****** great! Somebody who does graphics & advertising could do wonders with that word and a "shag" carpet.
