Title: Uisce writes for the Onion? Post by: Fuzzy on February 22, 2008, 08:33:16 AM 42" might be floating around the cutoff #. We have 37" in the bedroom and I can tolerate SD on it. I watch my Setanta/FSC up there. I refuse to watch SD on the 56" downstairs. I just walk away if someone has something on and I rarely if ever watch soccer on it. http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/area_dad_will_only_watch Area Dad Will Only Watch Things In HD According to family members, ever since area father Gerry DiCenzo purchased a 52-inch HD LCD television last month, he has refused to watch any program not broadcast in high-definition. "Every time I walk into the room, he's like, 'Michael, sit down, you have to look at this picture,' but it's always something crappy, like golf or bowling or something," said son Michael, 14, who noted that his father will often flip back and forth between CBS's high-definition station and its regular station to illustrate the difference, acting physically disgusted when the picture is not in HD. "He always watches Happy Feet on HBO and says, 'Look how clear the pixels are—you can see the individual feathers on the penguins!' I don't even think he knows what the plot of the movie is." DiCenzo, who now also only rents movies on Blu-Ray, proudly noted that Spider-Man 3 star Tobey Maguire "has a bunch of moles on his face that you can't see in regular-def."

2 : trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly I'm not sure making the decision to watch high-def TV exclusively (or nearly so) qualifies as vice or folly. It just makes me feel superior to stroh. ;) Title: Re: Uisce writes for the Onion?
