I'll allow it when it's warranted. this one just reeks of haste and overall reduces the quality of the impact. I felt like I was tripping on roots trying to read it.
When I was poorer I bought a TV like this, a CRT, from a charity shop in town and carried it home over a mile then up to the tenth floor of my block of flats. Thankfully the lift was working.
Back in the days of my apprenticeship (Ausbildung) the company still had this whole storage of old CRT TVs. At some point the other apprentice and me had to get rid of all of them.
This meant each of us grabbing one, carry it down 3 floors, load them onto the company's VW T bus and unload at the recycling center.
No fun, one was so big and heavy I tripped and couldn't get it off my myself. In hindsight I dont't think this was within safety regulations, haha.
This reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where they get a guy they know a massive TV as an engagement present but he breaks up before they get to see it in action
I have an uncle who had one of those massive, old CRT tvs. Easily weighed several hundred pounds. The tv was free to anyone who would carry it out of the basement and out of house. Took four people to move that tv out.
It's made by hand one by one, something like the Ferrari of TV/multimedia systems if you have >$25.000 to buy an TV. The advantage all products are modular and can be updated for life to the last tecnologies.
there's still two left over in our household. while one is really heavy but manageable, the other one hasn't been moved in years. probably for the best.
