I have recently treated myself to a sooper dooper 42" LCD TV in the sales...it cost slightly more than the Gross Domestic Income of a small African country and is indeed a thing of opulent beauty.
When the sales advisor, whose name was Jez according to his name badge (which I think is short for Jeremy), asked whether I wanted to take out an additional three year accident warranty, I declined. Little did I know that in the near future I would be putting my foot through this technological marvel upon witnessing a fat, talentless, benefit dodging, fame-obssessed, oxygen thief dumbing down further what's left of the culture in this sad and sorry excuse for a country.
On the bright side, it did come with a very nice stand....
