Hey, Come on, were talking a 50" plasma TV here.
Unless your wife or girlfriend is a Supermodel, why wouldn't a man go for the 50 incher? Pleasure comes in many forms Sex is just one of them. As Al Bundy (Married With Children and NO MA'AM spokesperson) once stated "With the (Plasma ) TV you can lower volume and turn if off with a remote, try and do that with your girlfriend or wife. Al's favourite show "Big' Uns" will never look so "Big and Lifelike" close up either with a 50 inch TV.

British men opt for 50-inch plasma over sexReutersPublished: Saturday, February 09, 2008
LONDON -- Nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, a survey -- perhaps unsurprisingly carried out for a firm selling televisions -- said Friday.

Electrical retailer Comet surveyed 2,000 Britons, asking them what they would give up for a large television, one of the latest consumer "must-haves."

The firm found 47 per cent of men would give up sex for half a year, compared to just over a third of women.

"It seems that size really does matter more for men than women," the firm said.

A quarter of people said they would give up smoking, with roughly the same proportion willing to give up chocolate.
