HD TV is Freaking Us Out

We're not really technology guys and don't really watch much television, so our our 10 inch Magnavox is enough TV for us. It doesn't even have RCA jacks, just the coaxial knob, so it should come as no surprise that we are without High Definition. However, many of our friends have HD and most of the establishments we patronize have them wall-to-wall, so we're familiar with the technology. We don't like it!!!

It's cool to see the individual blades of grass on a soccer pitch, and the brilliance of football helmets in HD is pretty sweet, but nine times out of ten when people are speaking on camera, we are horrified. Most people are just not good-looking enough for close-ups in High Definition. A HD friendly make-up needs to find its way to stations stat. Our local news stations have recently moved to HD and it's ridiculous, and don't even get us started on Brent Musberger. We know he's old, but he looks dead in HD.
