Why does everyone want a massive TV?

And what about the children? Will somebody please think of the children?!

Its not something ive really delved into but as far as I understand it there is 'no evidence' that suggests watching tv damages peoples eyes (Including children)

Some children who sit up close to the tv do so as theyre 'near sighted', but again, it wont damage their eyes, theyre just compensating for their vision problem. Children in fact are much more capable of watching tvs up close without eyestrain than adults

I was always told i would get square eyes if i sat too close to the tv.

Indeed Desmond Morris claims TV is as good as books for child development - and that people whom say otherwise are 'cultural snobs'....

Indeed, though my children have asked whether we need to watch World At War again...

JohnDuncan:bennyboy71:Good - I appreciate the integrity of that approach. Does it not irk you then that WHF so blatantly promotes such rubbish films each month? Maybe we could have a John Duncan Recommends column to even out the balance and restore some grey cells?

No. Does it irk you that when asked by Andy Kerr what films I use to 'show off' kit, I said Iron Man?

As with Iron Man and all superheroes, with great power comes great responsibility.....

I don't think I'm implying it, no.
