Half of U.K. men would swap sex for 50-inch TV
Survey found that only a third of women would make the same trade
updated 7:14 p.m. ET Feb. 8, 2008
LONDON - Nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, a survey — perhaps unsurprisingly carried out for a firm selling televisions — said on Friday.
Electrical retailer Comet surveyed 2,000 Britons, asking them what they would give up for a large television, one of the latest consumer “must-haves.”
The firm found 47 percent of men would give up sex for half a year, compared to just over a third of women.
“It seems that size really does matter more for men than women,” the firm said.
A quarter of people said they would give up smoking, with roughly the same proportion willing to give up chocolate.

Today, due to persecution, trophy-hunting, and habitat-destruction, the grizzly occupies less than 2% of its historical range. |

LOL, TV or sex. I'd choose sex over the TV.
