Comments Off on Philips television – Powerful Picture Box seeks foes to obliterate
I thought some of you might enjoy the Craigslist ad that I posted yesterday:
If Hulk Hogan donated one of his 24″ pythons to science, this television would be the result.
This television can grow Sam Elliott’s mustache, only in technicolor.
Compared to flimsy flatscreens, this television looks like a Sherman tank next to a Smart car.
This television delivers more laughs than Dane Cook, Zach Galfanakis, and Elmo combined.
This television makes Chuck Norris blush.
If this television were a statue, it would be the Statue of Liberty with a high-and-tight haircut holding an M16 in one hand and an Indiana Jones whip in the other.
If this television had feelings, it would say, “Ha!â€
We’re talking 32″ of pure viewing pleasure, all your best hook-ups, a sharp picture, and enough girth to make your stereo surround sound giggle.
This television has no tolerance for high falutin’ names. Vizio, Viore, and Pegasus? Please. Hey, Harry Potter called, and he wants his mythical creatures back.
If you want a quality, no-nonsense telly that will stand the test of time and one that doesn’t require a whole entourage of other consumer electronics to feel good about itself, then I have the one for you.
Do the right thing. Send the email. Leave a legacy.

If you find dozens of other televisions on Craigslist, how are you going to ensure that your posting stands out so that people will notice it and respond? You could offer it at a rock-bottom price and lose money, or you could make people laugh. You may remember my other post about “The Ugliest Couch in the World†that I sold on Craigslist—for more than I originally asked. Exaggeration and absurd humor make for effective marketing—just ask Old Spice…“Swan dive into the best night of your life.â€
I would suggest, however, that you be honest on your resume and first dates.
What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever seen for sale?
