Sure, HD TVs are cool. Yeah, it's great to see the acne on your favorite athlete/talkshow host/politician, and to realize that they, like you, are human and have flaws (except Sean Connery; the man ages like a fine wine!) But really, what good is an HD TV with crappy sound sitting alone on the floor? No good, that's how much. But an HD TV mounted on your wall with bitchin' surround sound? That's awesome, and only improves the experience of laughing at Kelly Ripa's crow's feet or Mitt Romney's sadness lines.
