The Onkyo Problem
Dear former self:
You are about to purchase a Onkyo 3D-ready home theater system. I am writing you to warn you of the potentially TREMENDOUS implications of this decision. You may think that you are simply buying a fun, powerful home gadget, but I'm afraid the consequences are FAR MORE DIRE than you may have ever imagined.
You see, what the product features don't tell you is that that "three dimensions" this system is ready for are not the usual spacial dimensions, but intergalactic super-dimensions that, once employed, will rip apart reality as you know it. You will no longer be a "person" in any meaningful way, but a vibration frequency in an ultradimensional sea.
I have to go! I can hear a Woot editor coming, ready to remove this writeup that is trying to dissuade you from purchasing the very thing that it is meant to promote. Buy this Onkyo if you must, but wield it carefully! For you shall have the power of a god.
Sincerely,
Your future self
