Survey finds over half of football fans would take an HDTV over vacation

My, my -- no wonder the rest of the world says Americans toil too often and play too little. A recent survey, which was commissioned by Samsung, found that over half (54%) of the football fanatics polled would "most likely purchase a new HDTV for the start of football season if their budget allowed." Moreover, 51% of pigskin fans would "forego a one week vacation and put that money towards an HDTV purchase," which also means that a decent chunk of committed pigskin fans would willingly accept a beating from their SO. Other expected results include: 61% felt that "HDTV is required for a successful football-viewing party, more than surround sound or alcohol," and that 62% of fans believe watching the game in HDTV "allows them to make better calls than the referees in the game." That last one explains a lot about your friend Jim, now doesn't it?

Well to be fair...You will probably spend more that 1 week total time in front of the TV during its lifespan.

Thanks all, here's hoping for a bowl bid! Not bad after a 2-6 start!

Unfortunately, an HDTV is often significantly cheaper than a vacation.

I wish I could take a vacation to somewhere else. Being unemployed sucks.
