<p>(<a href="http://digg.com/hardware/32_LCD_TV_for_sale_on_Amazon_com_for_4_million_dollars">found via Digg</a>) Amazon currently has a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00093GW3W/ref=masterwishcom-20/002-9749738-4852019?ie=UTF8">$4 million tv</a> up for sale.  In all actuality, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/at-a-glance.html/ref=masterwishcom-20/002-9749738-4852019?ie=UTF8&#038;asin=B00093GW3W&#038;marketplaceSeller=0&#038;seller=A37X3IWYLLGVAV">Trinet Electronic Networks</a> seems to have entered an incorrect price for the 32&#8243; LCD television which has sparked a few interesting comments:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>Great value for your money</strong><br />
Eric Pheterson</p>
<p>I was kind of sketch about buying this specific unit because of the price, but the reviews and descriptions were promising. Once I got it, I opened the box and realized it&#8217;s covered in gold and has diamond studs all over it! It has an amazing picture, it&#8217;s definately a conversation piece!
</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>What a great deal!!!!!</strong><br />
M. Elzinga </p>
<p>This is the best TV I have ever had!!! The TV is totally worth the 4 million I spent!!! I would totally suggest you buy this TV!!! It is an awesome deal!!!!!!
</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<strong>I would have given it one star</strong><br />
Dad</p>
<p>While I have never owned this tv, it is underwhelming for a price of over $4mm, truly amazing for such old technology.
</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Comments from Digg</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>
I like how the &#8220;low price&#8221; indicator is shown! I guess I should buy 2 or 3&#8230;</p>
<p>No Free Shipping!!!???</p>
<p>I like the &#8216;Price at a Glance&#8217; indicator in the top corner &#8216;List Price $2,699.95, New from $4,018,100.00.  BARGAIN!!</p>
<p>No deal! I just bought an LCD TV for $3,500,000!
</p></blockquote>
<p>Boy, whoever did the data entry is sure to never hear the end of this :D</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='/wp-content/upload/gummi_bears.jpg' alt='' align="left" class="post_image"/> Remember when tv was good?  Remember when the NES was the hottest thing on the market?  When everyone knew the theme song to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%27s_Adventures_of_the_Gummi_Bears">Gummi Bears</a> and every kid wanted <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_Hungry_Hippos">Hungry Hungry Hippos</a>?</p>
<p>I often think back to my childhood and remember when the cartoons were actually worth watching.  They were fun, colorful, and generally wholesome.  Good times.  Remember these: <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/14-he-man-and-the-masters-of-the-universe/">He-Man</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/6-ducktales/">Ducktales</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/26-gummi-bears/">Gummi Bears</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/13-the-wuzzles/">The Wuzzles</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/16-the-smurfs/">The Smurfs</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/109-shirt-tales/">Shirttales</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/57-teddy-ruxpin/">Teddy Ruxpin</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/142-jem-and-the-holograms/">Jem and the Holograms</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/634-strawberry-shortcake/">Strawberry Shortcake</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_theme/583/">Rainbow Brite</a>.  </p>
<p>Well, I came across a site (<a href="http://www.retrojunk.com">RetroJunk</a>) that allows you to walk down memory lane and view the intros to many of your favorite childhood shows from the 70&#8242;s, 80&#8242;s and 90&#8242;s!  Cartoons and regular shows&#8230;plus it has some retro commercials (including a couple about NES and its games).  As my wife and I were perusing the shows/commercials, we found ourselves remembering shows that we had forgotten about completely!  There are some obscure ones there (<a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/490-foofur/">Foofur</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/119-count-duckula/">Count Duckula</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/193-eureekas-castle/">Eureeka&#8217;s Castle</a>, <a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/2-denver-the-last-dinosaur/">Denver the Last Dinosaur</a>, etc :D)  Check out the site&#8230;its awesome ;)</p>
<p>Once cartoon that I&#8217;m bummed that they don&#8217;t have on there is the Monchhichi&#8217;s&#8230;that cartoon is sooo incredibly hard to find information on.  It must have been pretty short lived.  Anyone else remember that one?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='/wp-content/upload/dumb.jpg' alt='Dumb' align="left" class="post_image"/> I found this blog at <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000870055742/">Joystiq</a> that says:</p>
<blockquote><p>65 out of 490 young ladies who attend <a href="http://www.ccsdistrict.org/Timken/">Timkin High School</a> in Canton, Ohio are preggers, and video games may be to blame, according to a local Ohio newspaper, which had this to say on the subject:</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em>Whose fault is it that more than 13 percent of Timken’s girls are with child? Some would say fault-finding isn’t a fruitful exercise, but in this case, it’s critical. Suspects range from movies, TV and video games to lazy parents and lax discipline. Only one thing is sure: Schools don’t impregnate children.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The blog post at Joystiq is referring to <a href="http://www.cantonrep.com/index.php?ID=238435&#038;Category=14&#038;fromSearch=yes">this article at cantonrep.com</a>.  Yes, it is a very sad thing that so many young girls in that school are becoming pregnant.  But, what I want to know is <em>how</em> someone can even <em>claim</em> that the pregnancies are caused by electronic media.  It&#8217;s lack of sex education both in schools and in homes.  It&#8217;s the irresponsiblity of these teenagers and the poor influence around the town that is the cause of these pregnancies&#8230;<strong>not</strong> TV and videogames.  I mean, come on&#8230;when was the last time you played the video game: &#8220;Uber-Pregnancy Power&#8221; or watched the kids show: &#8220;C&#8217;mon Kids, Pregnancy can be FUN!&#8221;  When I was in highschool, I watched the same type of shows that are on today and I didn&#8217;t run around getting everyone pregnant.  </p>
<p>Stupid stupid stupid.</p>
<p>The comments at Joystiq are pretty interesting, by the way ;)</p>
