After being done with some light* work on a Saturday evening, i decided to check out an electronics store close to home. Little did i know that it would lead to a pretty serious shock (pun unintended).
1. The salesmen touch and grope the LCD screens, leaving scratches the size of the equator. Something that is highly annoying and highly stupid. Totally unexpected from an idiot who’s supposed to be selling you the goods.
2. They claim that no progressive scan DVD players are available in spite of 4 being right in front of you. So much for our endeavors to make this nation 100% literate.
3. They tout plasma TV technology to the best thing since slice bread, Jesus Christ and Sachin Tendulkar. All rolled into one.
4. They claim that the xbox 360 is the most maintainance-free piece of hardware ever. Yes, apparently they’ve never heard of red rings of death.
5. They charge more for older TV sets than newer ones.
Well that’s the last time i ever enter a NEXT showroom for anything even remotely related to electronics. Lamers.
Now listening to: The Scorpions- Rock You Like a Hurricane
*the term “light” implies its description for robots, jedi masters and super snipers able to sit in the same spot for weeks on end.
