Dude I am sorry that is just irresponsible and a waste. It is already bad enough that the government is pissing away millions of tax dollars on these coupons to give boxes away to people who are too poor/ignorant/lazy to upgrade on their own. I will take pride in myself and the fact that I don't NEED one of these. If a bunch of schmucks sign up and get these boxes when they dont need it then I guarantee, (mark these words), the government will just throw more of my tax money at it so the people who really are too poor or ignorant of the situation can get boxes in 2009 when they realize, "Why my t.v. done not work no more?!"

Miggity, you are a pompus assh@*!.
Just because you can run out and buy a new TV, certainly doesnt mean that someone that doesnt is poor or ignorant. I'm betting that you still live at home or your mooching off someone. I can't stand closed minded freaks like you. I feel sorry for you.

Pissing away millions on people too ignorant/poor/lazy to afford the transition? you, sir, are the lowest form of loser. Tell me, what's it really like to be an ignorant, self-centered ass and conceited, for some unfathomable reason, simultaneously?

You know Mr. "Govt. is throwing away my tax dollars on these coupons". since I just bought my TV 2 months ago and since I am far from ignorant I am more than happy that the govt. is providing a converter so that my 2 month old TV doesn't cease to work 1 year from the date of purchase. Better that than giving food stamps to Felons (illegal immigrants) or paying 60K a year of my tax dollars to house 3 time losers for life in federal pens. How about the waste in paying every "1 term in the politician 60+K a year retirement for life while my family struggles to make ends meet on 1/2 that after I've spent 20 years paying taxes. I bet ya all the aforementioned crooks are eating better than my family and doing it on both yours and my taxes so I'll take a break anytime I can get it!
