After many years it
appears the so called Black Friday chaos finally arrived here in Britain
yesterday, a place not used to Black Friday. And it has come to my notice
thanks to the very informative Bumferry Hogart that all was not as it might
appear from a distance. You see Mr Hogart or Mr H as we like to call him was
brave enough to venture out into the wilds of sale land and found folk acting
normally and even smiling. To those of us watching the news this was a shock as
on the BBC news we got to watch massed crowds fighting in the playing fields of
England
. . . sorry I mean the aisles of Tesco as they fought to the last man over 40
inch television sets. This is interesting because (as I have already discussed
with Mr H) a couple of years ago when the good folk of Britain in certain
places (cities) rioted one of the main items targeted by the looters was 40 inch
television sets.
In fact 40 inch television
sets seem to have a strange effect on the public and the people who own them.
So I have had to conclude from all the evidence that has been placed in front
of me that the minds of man has been subconsciously manipulated by Aliens of a
higher intelligence many millions of years ago to desire a 40 inch
television. Of course the Aliens have
been waiting quietly for us to get to the stage where our own intelligence is
good enough to develop the mass produced 40 inch Flat Screen Television. Which
means mankind has now finally reached a point where we now sit and worship
these 40 inch large shiny black monoliths in our living rooms. Now ask yourself
does this remind you of something, a film maybe called . . . 2001 a Space Odyssey.
You see these large black
40 inch screen technological devices are more than a simple television set they
are the incubators of the dormant offspring of the Aliens who will at some
point leap out of the screen and into the body and mind of the humans who have
been sent into a comatose state by watching hours of talent shows and minor
celebs doing stuff like dancing and eating armadillos or Dads Army.
And once the humans have
been assimilated and genetically realigned they will join the army of existing aliens
who insist those of us who do not yet own 40 inch televisions should get
one because it’s a must for every modern home. This way it is only a matter of
time until we are all taken over and Mankind as we know it is changed forever
becoming Aliens just like the ones you see on the TV. . . . . . .
I blame that Professor
Quatermass. . . .
It is indeed a scary proposition.
ReplyDeleteI reckon these aliens are called Aych Dees as I have seen the word "HD ready" written on a lot of these TV.
In fact is TV short for Terrestrial Vehicle?
The facts keep stacking up!
ndeed the more you think about this the more it seems entirely logical. I am just glad we dont have a 40 inch television here. . . . .PHEW. I am safe from the Aych Dees for the present but I am keeping a pointy stick to hand just in case.
Delete"The minds of man has been subconsciously manipulated by Aliens of a higher intelligence many millions of years ago to desire a 40 inch television." Yeah, that seems like the most logical explanation.
ReplyDeleteI only have a computer screen, why have I not been chosen by the aliens to seek out a 40 inch television? Am I not worthy, future and present alien overlords?Make me want to punch my fellow citizens in the face to save five percent on a television, I beg you!
No you really don't want to be chasing those large TV's. You will be a much nicer person watching that computer screen and reading my blog. . . .
DeleteI was thinking about getting a 400 inch teleBision just as soon as they are available.
ReplyDeleteThis year I renamed it Bleak Friday. I had neVer heard it caLLed that before. I am thnkng I might like to have a Raspberry Pi to play with.
DeleteI can really see you getting on well with a Raspberry Pi as well as Raspberry Pie.
Deletea 400 in screen will turn up one day and will have the added advantage that shoppers will find it hard to fight over as almost everyone will be able t grab it at the same time
I would even settle for a 400 by 5 inch teleBision provided it was flexible and I could view several 5x8 channel views with the entire teleBision encircling me on my bed and changing channels involved physicaLLy spiraLLy the teleBsion around my bed, crawling in from one end of the spiral.
DeleteThat could prove a great way to watch a motor race or folk running or a cowboy chase. they would be able to run round in circles all night.
DeleteYou are correct in more ways than one and a half.
DeleteIf each screen segment was 8 inches long then there could be 50 simultaneous channels on at the same time. I would design the firmware so that you could rearrange the display order and not be stuck with the order that the cable teleBision provider determines.
DeleteIf you could mix up characters from the different channels to create a composite program of unrelated stuff it would be great fun.
