Take it Easy, Yo, With Vizio
I’m not a person with extravagant tastes. I don’t need a lot to be comfortable in this life.
I have modest wants. All I ask from the world is the opportunity to make a living and serve my community. The love of my family. A little bit of leisure time in the summer. A chance to work hard and prove my worth.
And a complete collection of FAMOUS MONSTERS magazine in mint condition. And two dirt bikes. And a magic wallet that always has $5,000 in it, no matter how many times I take money out.
Oh, and a Vizio 37-inch LCD HDTV with a 16:9 aspect ratio, a viewing angle of up to 178 degrees, and an HDMI input.
That last one is a make-or-break item, because I can’t see how a person is supposed to get by when a person can’t watch the new “Futurama” episodes with the wide dynamic range and superior black levels you get from the Vizio’s 500 cd/m2 brightness. It’s a must-have. Not negotiable.
So I guess if I have to make sacrifices elsewhere on my list to accommodate that… I dunno, maybe scratch love of my family. They don’t even like “Futurama.”
