Sounds like something the average housewife does when someone gives a bogus price for the showcase on the Price Is Right.

Is television really THAT bad? I've lived in a cave all my life, so I don't know...
And what's a Bieber?

Let's hope he gets a fair trial and the County has the common sense to bolt down their TVs next time.

Let's hope he's stamping license plates to pay for a new TV.
