California do-gooders want to ban flat screen TVs

plasma_tvWe hate the media. You hate the media. But we love our TVs more than our wives. That’s why this story is so infuriating.

California regulators want to ban the sale of plasma and LCD TVs because “they use too much energy.” The new rules could cost the state up to $130 million in sales and income taxes annually. So if the greens get their way, they’ll drive the state even further into the red.

Sales of plasma and LCDs, which account for 90% of new TV sales, would be outlawed in California as soon as the rules go into effect.

In a really brilliant public relations move, they made this announcement just before the Super Bowl, the day when record numbers of Americans will be gathered around their new flat screen TVs.

By the way, we’re taking Arizona and the points.
