"Anonymous tipster"?????

:sarcasm:

I haven't read MAD in years, but it's good to see they are as vicious as ever :)

The fact that I found this bit to be pretty funny shows I've still got it.

If they had done nothing, nobody would have noticed.

Now watch Mad magazine sales go UP.

..directly across the street from 600 other Best Buys!

Truth provides the funniest material. :rofl: :rofl:

To be honest, I have no complaints; it was the best-looking set in the store, including the plasma and LCD sets; brighter, clearer, and higher contrast. This 50" 1080p set rawks.

It's the best TV I've ever seen, period. I have had no complaints about the product.

Now, I did get suckered into buying a lot of stuff I didn't really need- the clerk, for example, outright lied about the products I needed to use to clean the screen. Windex is good enough for that. That said, I am glad he talked me into buying the super-duper power strip; everything plugged into it is insured for the lifetime of the strip up to- get this- $250,000.

I don't even use the TV as a TV most of the time- I use it as the display device for my PC. And yes, playing games like Bioshock or Unreal Tournament 3- or, hell, PAC-MAN- on a 50" screen is.... just.... awesome.

:D

One of their service techs looked me straight in the face and told me that a Sony dual cassette deck I had bought there was working perfectly. It wasn't. It sounded so bad I couldn't use it.

apologizing in the update. Gotta give them credit for that.
