Please stop showing me how good my TV is.

Christmas isn’t over for TV manufacturers and electronics retailers. They hope (as they do every year) that the Super Bowl (now in all of it’s high definition glory) will drive TV sales.

Here’s the problem. 

Every time I see a commercial for the latest, biggest, bestest, newest TV…they show me how good my OLD TV looks (usually using a photo of a butterfly or a sailboat).  I have to admit, in their commercial the picture is FANTASTIC! Beautiful colors…the contrast is nice…WOW (it really is a very pretty butterfly).

In fact…the damn butterfly looks so good, I think I’ll keep my old TV. Now stop making me mock you and put the game back on…
