Mother of the year gifts son with 98″ LCD in his ceiling

While I can sit here and point my finger complaining of this stories’ mother being way too generous/intelligently lacking with her young son in regards to his new 98″ ceiling mounted and flush TV (yes it’s really that big), I can’t even begin to tell you how much I would want that in my room at any age. If you’re sitting back denying that this is of any use and that the mother is stupid blah blah blah, do us all a favor, shut your mouth and just admit your jealous. Hell, I am! Moving on, this behemoth of an eye pleaser was, as you can see, mounted flush with the kids bedroom ceiling meaning no rough lines yet days of door closed, anti-social behavior. The whole contraption, mounting and all weighed in at more than 300 lbs. meaning a reinforced ceiling frame was needed! (picture below) Yikes…wouldn’t want that falling on my chest in the middle of the night when a stripped screw brings down 300+ lbs. of metal, plastic, and wood. On a lighter note, the mother of the millennium says that her son spends a great deal of time playing with and editing his own videos….riiiigggghht. While his eyes may enjoy the added room to stretch and the extra size and convenience of a 98″ screen right over your head may sound great, the chiropractor may not be so excited next time you go in to have your back and neck realigned after staring at the ceiling for two days straight.

Hey, the mom isn’t that stupid…now if she had put a mini fridge in their too….then we might have a problem.

    Actually, as a chiropractor, I would rather my patients stare towards the ceiling rather than lay in bed with three pillows stuffed under their neck looking at the TV on their chest of drawers.
    I think this is a great idea, and could help people keep that natural lordosis (curve) in their cervical spine. I may try to do this in my bedroom. Of course I probably won’t get a 98 incher!

      Ya, I can see how a 98″ TV could be cost prohibitive…and slightly stressful for your entire roof…
