Are we crazy as a society?
So the phrase on everyone's lips lately is 'In today's economy...'

It seems we are in relatively dire economic straights despite what John McSame seems to think. In fact this economic downturn has for the first time ever hit luxury items as well. Rich folks are even tucking in their horns a bit.

That being said I had to go to Home Depot to buy a few el-cheapo deluxe things in preparation for my move to St Louis.

WHILE I was there I wandered by the appliances section just to see what all was there. I made an off-hand remark to the salesgirl that was there to ask if a particular refridgerator played MP3s.

She snickered and asked if I had seen the fridge with the TV in it.

...

Excuse me? A fridge with a TV?

I present for your amusement... the $3700 fridge... with HDTV...



And in case you're too lazy to actually open the fridge... one with a 'refreshment port'.


Yes. I'm fairly certain we're fucking nuts. The only solace I can take from this is the chick hadn't sold one yet, but she really wanted to.
