Bart Blatsein is a developer who has pumped a ton of money into my neighborhood, God bless ‘im.  Part of the latest residential development is called The Piazza.  It features a large open space with a landscaping, seating and (wait for it) a gigantic outdoor TV!!

More than 600 apartments — which the outspoken, charismatic developer boasts are all leased — overlook the large veranda with the largest television screen this side of the Comcast Center.

This excerpt comes from that paragon of journalistic prowess, The Philadelphia Metro.  I’ll have to post a picture of this monstrosity over the weekend.  Because, you know, if I didn’t see it on some giant flat panel television – it didn’t really happen!!

Trader Joe’s, your friendly neighborhood grocery chain, has a comical catalog of products called the Fearless Flyer.  As part of the of the gag, there is a list of the top ten reasons to shop at Trade Joes, and, sure enough, look at number 3!

3. No flat screens anywhere in sight

(whole list can be viewed here)

So, it’s not just me.  Other people are noticing, and they don’t like it.

…look and see if you agree that the following premise appears to have been adopted by everyone from nail salons to real estate offices, from delicatesns to doctor’s offices:

There is no marketing plan that won’t benefit from the use of large, flat screen TVs.

It’s getting a little annoying.
