Germany’s strange brand of reality television has inadvertently answered two of the most vexing philosophical questions regarding poultry in all of human history:

1. Why did the chicken cross the road?

2. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The definitive answers to both questions reside here.

And just in case anyone that buys an iLo TV or DVD player needs reminding what kind of low-rent consumers they have become, the aspirational iLo logo is prominently displayed on each and every device.

On the other end of the consumer electronic spectrum, Samsung just developed the world’s largest HDTV, a 102-inch plasma behemoth. That’s an eight-and-a-half foot diagonal picture folks, big enough for a life-size head-to-shoe representation of Shaquille O’Neal, even if those shoes are 17-inch pumps.
