As if Fleshlights weren't disgusting enough already.

Why do you find fleshlights disgusting?

Ugg. I once had a job for a company that offered cleaning products for the Fleshlight and had to see pictures of what, exactly, happens to a Fleshlight if you don't clean it correctly.

Think about a porous material, semen and time. You don't see what's in there (because you just see the opening) abut after a couple weeks you are essentially fucking a petri dish of bacteria.

Well, yes. Anything you get bodily fluids all over and don't clean is going to go nasty.

Love the post-apocalyptic art.

It's also nice to know that not even the complete downfall of civilisation will stop Porsche from making 911s...

I feel sure that our posthuman masters will want something shiny to drive around in :->

Have you reconsidered a pending purchase?

I am pleased. So pleased that I can buy a Blu Ray Extended LoTR and not worry about having to upgrade in 5 years because it is made of lame from being too low res.

Then again I currently have a 60 inch tv, which I sit about 6 feet from...so there's always I chance I'll a Back to The Future 3 wall-edition telly by then,

Yeah, that article validates a fair number of purchasing decisions of mine; I had the concept right, even if I hadn't done the math. I live in a small-ish apartment (~90m^2/800sq.ft) and going 1080p with BluRay would've been massive overkill. Indeed, BluRay itself was overkill on my setup; I only got into it at all because the player was a gift.

-- Steve still watches a 26" TV running 1080i at about 2m/7' and it looks fine even today... after more than 7 years.

When I bought my current television the salesman found us looking at very high resolution quite large screens. He then asked us how big our television viewing area was and suggested that we didn’t need a super fantastic TV because we wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

I think he’s one of the best salesmen I’ve done business with.

The Blu-Ray LOTR looks amazing - the colour reproduction is a lot better than the DVD for a start.

I do agree that going beyond that point is not likely to be that useful.

"No one's going to sit 6 feet from a big TV"

That's bollocks. I've met a fair few people who still have the same kind of setup around their TV or computer monitor as they did when it was an old boxy TV or CRT monitor, regardless of how much bigger it is now.

I'm pretty sure we sit about 6 feet from the TV - there isn't really any other sensible option for arranging the sofa and the TV in the room. I assume a lot of people have their lounge set up for TV watching in the way that best fits into the room, rather than the way that is in some theoretical way "best" for the TV that they have.
