  1. [rant]I was at my brother's apartment for the superbowl.
    His roomate just got a new 57" widescreen HD ready tv.
    We were watching from a satelite feed (doesn't have a hd tuner yet), where the OAR was 4:3, he had his tv set to stretch the image to 16:9.

    This totally ruined the game for me, I spent more time looking at how horrible the game looked, then how great the game was.

    The cheerleaders were fat, Janet Jackson boob was oblong and pixelated!! Not what I wanted to see, a 12 inch oblong pixelated breast..

    He gave 2 reasons as to why he was displaying it this way
    1. He doesn't want to burn in the black bars on the side of the TV.
    I laughed at this one, and told him to never listen to the salespeople at bestbuy

    2. He feels cheated if he doesn't get the FULL PICTURE.
    I almost through him out the window.

    THE GENERAL AMERICAN PUBLIC ARE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS...

    I spent almost 2 hours trying to explain aspect ratio to him, and all he could say was.. "um.. what?" Yet when we decided to watch star wars episode 2 after the game, (2.22:1 aspect ratio) HE ZOOMED IT SO IT FILLED UP THE FULL SCREEN, THUS LOSING PART OF THE PICTURE!!![/rant]

  2. Yep sounds like a moron to me. Some people you just can't convince. They are so bull headed that they think their way is the right way and the only way.

    This is the only thing that puzzles me; why yoo would spend so much time pissing around with this arsehole, when you could have gone anywhere else to watch it.
