#1240 – Zoom

For the first 6 or 7 years after moving away from home my TV was a little 13″ box that my parents bought for me. I could pick it up with one hand using the built in handle on the top. It was never a concern when I moved to different rooms or apartments. Then I upgraded to a 27″ hulk of plastic and glass. It was right on the edge of me being able to pick it up and move it. I would have to pre-plan the route I would take and double check that no obstacles were in the way. Carrying it up stairs was the worst because my ribcage would surely be crushed if I somehow fell backwards.

Today’s Maximumble is enlightened.

    That one commercial where the couple put the tv on the ceiling bothers me. Biff cleary shows the aftermath.

    The things that happen at 3 in the morning… ._.

    That will buff right out, little scrach on the back some spit and a rag won’t get rid of

    This must be an “immersive” version of 3D tv

    Well, better than duct-taping an old console TV to the ceiling…

    Grew up with one of those. Dad bought it so we could watch the moon landing in color. (well that was the excuse anyway). After a while we stopped trying to move it at all. Too hard to lift it out of the holes it sank into the hardwood floor.

    This reminds me of a man who won a Darwin award for doing what Biff probably did.

    More like “flattening” screen TV….

    Better, I suppose, than mirrors…

    Gravity: not just a good idea. It’s the law.

    This makes me wonder…
    Why do people stick TVs on walls with those flimsy looking arm things that look like they will snap any moment and shove £500+ down the drain? I mean, if I had an expensive TV (*which I don’t*) then I would want it to be SAFE, not hanging for dear life from a thin piece of metal!

    Ow. Even his eyebrow looks limp after that.
