That’s the question asked in this Register story that caught my eye … I’ve repeated the first two para’s here :
“Electrical retailer Comet has confirmed what those of us who boast enormous plasma tellys already know – that when it comes to getting your rocks off nothing beats a bit of hot bloke-on-widescreen action.
A survey by the retailer asked 2,000 Brit chaps what would convince them to give up rumpy-pumpy for six months, and no less than 47 per cent said that they’d skip a shag for a 50-in plasma, Reuters notes.”
Are they nuts ? Toys are one thing but I’d much rather have the chance to say “hello” to someone pretty as the first thing I do after waking up in the morning than have the big TV …
That said though, the first thing I do when I wake up tomorrow morning will be to pop downstairs, turn the telly on and promptly fall asleep in front of NZ vs England cricket. And I am thinking heavily about new telly, skybox and speakers … But I’d still prefer having the chance to say “hello” to that pretty person, especially if she likes watching cricket.
