Big Screen Television

Big screen televisions are altars to 21st century middle class life in a post industrial culture. While it may seem strange or extreme to some people, I find myself performing religious rituals in front of my big screen television on a regular basis. While my girlfriend never seems to understand, my neighbors sometimes do, and they will occasionally join me in one of these religious ceremonies. These big screen television religious ceremonies are sometimes referred to as ‘game days’, and are also sometimes more specifically known as The World Series and the Super Bowl.

Any sports fan will know the kind of ceremonies I’m referring to. Big screen televisions also make being a movie fan a sheer joy as well. With a 5.1 surround sound set up or better, a big screen television can make watching movies at home almost as good as the theatre. In some ways a lot better, because you don’t have to wait in line, pay $10.50, and then watch a half an hour of loud and obnoxious ads and previews.

All of your favorite television shows seem somehow a lot better when you’re watching them on a big screen television.
