I recently saw a video of a large number of youths "gracing" themselves some jeans out of a store. I understand, now. ;-)

Where have you guys been living... last time i went in Best Buys they didn't even have any box TV's and if they did you'd need a special adapter just to watch it and or an antenna on the roof of the house.

Consider this excerpt: "The average household defined as "poor" in 2005 had air conditioning, cable TV and a DVD player. If there were children in the home, the family likely had a game system, such as a Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) Xbox or Sony (SNE) PlayStation. Poor Americans had more living space than average Europeans and were not hungry. If you took the typical poor household and put them on TV, no one would think they are poor. They struggle to make ends meet... [ More ]
