Sex or a 50" Plasma TV?

[Kuan]

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

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" ...

Porn looks better on my 300" projector screen for sure.

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.

If I thought it would work, I'd have 2 plasma TVs.

Welfare Ain't What It Used To Be

Sharon Jasper has been victimized. Sharon Jasper has been rabidly wronged. She has become a Section 8 carcass-the victim of ever changing public housing policies.

Sharon Jasper has spent 57 or her 58 years dedicated to one cause and one cause only, and has nothing to show for her dedicated servitude. She has lived in Section 8 housing all but 1 of her 58 years. It was a legacy passed down from her parents who moved into Section 8 housing in 1949 when she was six months old. She has passed the legacy down to her children, but fears they may have to get jobs to pay for the utilities and deposits. She laments about her one year hiatus from the comfort of her Section 8 nirvana, ' I tried it for a year..you know, working and all. It's not anything I would want to go through again, or wish on anyo ne in my family, but I am damn proud of that year.'

Sharon was moved out of her St. Bernard housing project after hurricane Katrina and into a new, yet albeit, substandard quarterage. As can be noted from the above photo of her new Section 8 home, it is repugnant and not suitable for someone of Sharon Jasper's seniority status in the system. 'Don't be fooled by them hardwood floors,' says Sharon. 'They told me they were putting in scraped wood floors cause it was more expensive and elegant, but I am not a fool-that was just a way to make me take scratched up wood because I am black. The 60 inch HD TV? It may look nice but it is not a plasma. It's not a plasma because I'm black. Now they want me to pay a deposit and utilities on this dump.' 'Do you know why?'

She has held her tongue in silence through the years of abuse by the system, but it came to a head at the New Orlean's city council meeting where discussions were under way about the tearing down of the St. Bernard projects. When a near riotous exchange between groups opposing the tearing down of St. Bernard and groups wanting the dilapidated buildings torn down and newer ones built, Sharon unleashed verbal hell with her once silenced tongue. The object of her oratory prowess was an acquiescent poor white boy in attendance. The context of her scathing rebuke was, 'Just because you pay for my house, my car, my big screen and my food, I will not be treated like a slave!' and 'Back up and Shut up! Shut up, white boy! Shut up, white boy!'

Recapping from the mental log of the city council minutes in her head, Sharon repines, 'Our families have been displaced all over the United States. They are being forced to commit crimes in cities they are unfamiliar with. It is a very uncomfortable situation for them. Bring them back, then let's talk about redevelopment.'

Sharon directs the reporter's attention across the street to Duncan Plaza where homeless people are living in tents and states that, 'I might do better out there with one of these tents.' She further lamented her sentiments about her situation,' I might be poor, but I don't have to live poor.
