Funny Amazon Ad

From Jeff Wagner: Do you have $39,997.99 burning a hole in your pocket?  Looking for a Christmas gift for that person who has everything?
Check out this 85-inch Ultra HD Samsung television currently being sold on  Amazon.  Better hurry though.  There are only 3 left in stock.
I typically don't recommend that people read comments that people post on internet sites.  In my experience, for every one insightful comment, you'll find 20 comments that simply make you feel dumber for reading them.  
That said, check out the "Reviews" section for this product.  There are some really funny postings (as well as the usual dumb and/or inappropriate and/or generally clueless comments that you always find).   http://www.620wtmj.com/blogs/jeffwagner/234431951.html
Now, from Amazon: My wife and I bought this after selling our daughter Amanda into white slavery. We actually got a refurbished. It's missing the remote, but oh well-- for $10K off, I can afford a universal, right? The picture is amazing. I've never seen the world with such clarity.
Amanda, if you're reading this, hang in there, honey! We'll see you in a year.

I just wanted to add an addendum to my review. Since posting it, we have received a flood of responses. People have said some pretty hurtful things--even questioning our values. Let me assure you, this was not an easy decision to make, and we made it as a family. Obviously, it's very personal. But in light of all the second-guessing, I wanted to explain our thinking.
First and foremost, screen size. I really think you can't go too big. 85" may seem huge, but you get used to it fast. Second, resolution. Is 4K overkill? Please, that's what they said about 1080P! More dots = better. Period. And as far as this being a $40,000 "dumb" TV, people need to re-read my initial post: WE BOUGHT IT REFURBISHED. It was only $30,000.
Some of you may think I'm avoiding the "elephant in the room"-the real reason why this was such a heart-wrenching choice. So let's just get it out there. Yes, the 120 Hz refresh rate is a disappointment, especially on a 4K. But life is full of compromises. And frankly, we hardly notice. All in all, no regrets.
P.S., as for our daughter, NO ONE has the right to question our parenting. Totally out of bounds. Amanda was going into 7th grade, so it was going to be a transitional year anyway. Now she gets to see the world. How many kids her age get to go to Bahrain? I sure as heck didn't, but you don't hear me screaming "child abuse." Bottom line: MYOB! Seriously.  http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HFGHQE5PBV74/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R1HFGHQE5PBV74
And: The way it swivels is fantastic, just fantastic. When I was in the market for a TV to replace my house I always wondered how I would stay dry when it rained and this TV had both the size and the ingenuity I needed. Whenever it starts to rain I simply flip the screen to horizontal, hunker down, and I stay nice and dry.
And: I was looking around for something I could buy that would have a large box. My kids really love making them into forts. I would say the joy on their face after I threw out the tv and have them the box was worth every thousand. My cat loves it also can't get him out of it.
And: Great unit... the only problem is that it puts out so many lumens of HD TV power that it vaporized my cat. All I have left to remember Mister Tiggums is a Hiroshima-like flash-shadow on the far wall of my apartment. Judging by the shadow, he was licking himself when he was nuked by 85 inches of Samsung awesomeness. All I can say is that he went out a happy cat!
