No way I’d give up sex for a 50”Plasma.
LCD 1080p, heck yeah.

“Nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, a survey — perhaps unsurprisingly carried out for a firm selling televisions — said on Friday. “
Real men make events happen, they don’t watch them happen on television.

Prostitution, UK style...
Now THAT was funny. I hadn't read the headline in quite that way.

Sex every six months? I’d have to doublecheck, but I think that would represent an increase.
To: nypokerface
Thank goodness I already got the 50-inch HD TV before the wife heard about this!

If these are the same people who think Churchill was not a real person, they need to give up both TV and sex. The sooner the better.

More of a home entertainment center really.

LOL. Hello’s Bellows. I’d make the trade! I’ve been around the block enough times to give up walking it for a few months.

If they’d rather the TV, maybe they’re not doing it right.
Every night my wife and I go to bed at 8:30. We go to sleep at 10:00.
I don’t need a big TV.

....oh wait, that won’t work at all.

Question is, how easy is it for the average British consumer to buy a 50 inch plasma tv? What with high taxes, government regulations, what is their purchasing power? (In America we have welfare queens with big screen plasmas, never mind the average person)Over there, on top of that, you buy a tv, and you pay an annual tv tax.

I am not sure if this is a greater condemnation on British men or on British women.
Perhaps it is a sad statement about both.
