Beware of flat screen TVs that are actually oven doors

by Bob Sassone, posted Apr 3rd 2006 3:44PM

This is just too bizarre for words. (But that isn't stopping me from blogging about it, of course!)

A woman bought a flat screen television, and it came to her house (with a remote control and a cord)...but it turns out, the "flat screen television" was in reality the glass door from a large oven!

The first tip off should have been the price: $300 (marked down from $500). As a public service, here are some other items that people might try to pass off as flat screen TVs. Please beware:

  • car windshields
  • glass coffee table tops
  • the window from your living room

"the window from your living room"
Oh, why couldn't you have given me this warning earlier. I spent all Sunday afteroon watching the "flat screen TV" in my living room, only to realize that I was actually looking at the window. The picture quality was amazing, but I couldn't get the remote to work.

It was better when I read it on B&C Beat yesterday. Especially because the story wasn't misrepresented on that blog.

No one frickin' *delivered* the set. A dopey flyover bought it from a guy in a van.

Surely this two-day-old April Fool's joke is more suited to Engadget rather than here?
