Yes please.

DOH! Give credit where credit is due. I retract my request.

I thought it sounded familiar.

cant help but think of that passage every time i walk into costco. giant warehouse full of giant people pushing giant carts full of giant boxes, sucking on giant sodas, eating a giant slice of pizza or one of those giant pretzels.

150-inch Plasma? That's 12-1/2 feet!

It would almost cover one entire wall in your home. How far would your chairs have to be set back to even be able to see it? No thanks. 42 inches is the max I'd ever buy in a tv screen for my home. If I need anything larger I'll just take myself to the movies.

So much for the economy being in the toilet.

"So much for the economy being in the toilet."

Are you kidding? The economy is doing great...for folks who can afford 150in Plasma TVs. I'll give them this: Panasonic knows the market.

Oh, great.

Twelve-and-a-half feet of American Idol.

If there was anything on the fuckin' tube, that'd be different.

Hey, that's our way of life. And it's "non-negotiable" according to Dick Cheney.

I went to get a 42" and ended up getting a 50".

With a PS3 playing Blu-Rays, it's better than going to the movies.

Get the 50" instead of the 42".

GREAT....i will put it on my creidt card.....so the DEMS will have something to bitch about....when they see the next report that the majority of americans are in debt

If there was anything on the fuckin' tube, that'd be different.

Twelve and a half feet of John Wayne? That would rock!

Panasonic Unveils 150-Inch Plasma

My spouse says she thinks we have enough room for it...if she moves ALL of her stuff out of the house. What did that mean?

It means you can watch 12 and 1/2 feet of PORNO!!

Meanwhile, Sony just announced the introduction of the 11 inch screen as thick as 3 credit cards.

I'm holding out for the 12 and a half foot screen I can fold up and put in my pocket.

Wait 2 years. It was a 2 1/2 inch screen 3 months ago.

I'm holding out for the 12 and a half foot screen I can fold up and put in my pocket.

I'm holding out for programming that is less than 99% garbage. Then I'll take the TV plunge

Slime from the Video
Zappa

I am gross and perverted,
I'm obsessed and derainged,
I have existed for years,
But very little has changed,

I'm the tool of the government,
And industry too,
For I am destined to rule,
And regulate you,

I may be vile and omniscious,
But you can't look away,
I make you think I'm delicious,
With the stuff that I say,

I'm the best you can get,
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out from your T.V. set,

You will obey me as I lead you,
Eat the garbage that I feed you,
'Til the day that we don't need you,
Don't go for help no one will heed you,

Your mind is totally controlled,
It has been stuffed into my mold,
And you will do as you are told,
Until the rights to you are sold,


*That's right folks, don't touch that dial!*

*Chorus*
Well I am the slime from the video,
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor,
Well I am the slime from the video,
Can't stop the slime people look at me go,

Damn, Goat beat me to it. The solo at the end of that song is classic.

It was when "Overnight Sensation" came out that I became a true Zappa fan and started buying all his stuff. I was too young to appreciate him before that.

God, the first time my mom actually listened to the lyrics of Dyno Mo Hum . . .!

Now to sport the 150" ass that comes with being glued to such a magnificent spectacle of Roman... err, American excess.

Goat-

I first got into Zappa when my uncle loaned me a copy of "Strictly Commercial." Not a much loved CD by fans, but I was hooked within the first few measures of "Peaches en Regalia."

My favorite Zappa song is "Broken Hearts Are for Assholes" from Sheik Yerbouti. That grossed everyone out in the car.

Wouldn't that be great for watching the debates?

No, I'm not at all serious.

My favorite Zappa song is "Broken Hearts Are for Assholes" from Sheik Yerbouti. That grossed everyone out in the car.

Especially when it segues into:

"ram it, ram it, ram it, ram it up your poopshoot"
(cornhole!)
"ram it, ram it, ram it, ram it up your poopshoot"
(fist fuck)
"ram it, ram it, ram it, ram it up your poopshoot"
(wrist watch, crisco)

Yeah, that one does tend to shock people. So do some of the Central Scrutinizer's monologues in "Joe's Garage"

"Now to sport the 150" ass that comes with being glued to such a magnificent spectacle of Roman... err, American excess."

The same fatasses that buy these probably drive the biggest SUVs on the market as well.

A room with four of them, and a kick ass gaming system, full surround sound.

I want full immersion.

"Broken Hearts Are for Assholes" from Sheik Yerbouti.

And Dagmar...was his na...a...ame...

Yawn.

Big whoop.

I will get excited when there is something fresh to watch on the idiot box rather than just watching the same retarded retreaded crap on a bigger screen.

OOHRAH -
Not quite.
But not to worry.
The "Godzilla" screen is, ahem, coming.

TV these days really seems to be a waste of time. We only have two TV's. One in our home in the valley and one in our mountain home. I have never seen the need for tvs' in the kitchen or bedroom.

My wife and I have decided to cancel our Direct TV subscription and unplug the televisions for one year.

We both have internet at work and can stay up todate on news that way. Local news is nothing but teasers and repetition anyway.

We have both decided to start reading at night. We have a list of some classic literature that we both want to read.

We did this a number of years ago and it was the best thing we ever did.

Odd comment. So Panasonic (a Japanese company, BTW) develops and builds a gigantor TV. What, if anything, does this have to do with the economy?

Other than casinos and some venues, I don't expect a large home consumer market for this excess.

score another one for couch butts everywhere!

Marion Michael Morrison? You are so gay, Wis.

Maybe now they have room for Ron Paul at the end of the table...

The thought of watching a porn film on a TV this big??? For those that have size issues in the head, now they will be on a 150" screen.
