why do people do this:

1. stretch the friggin 4:3 image to a nauseating 16:9, then say I LIKE IT!!!

2. put the screen so high up the friggin wall to break your neck watching it

why oh why!?!!

Ha! My dad just did both of these in his house

It's up too high for no reason, and the TV is on stretch mode.

Gross.

Because most people are clueless sheep who drift through life without giving careful thought to anything. It is like purchasing a $50,000 stove for your kitchen and then using your Foreman grill to cook. Silly...but people like to do silly things.
