Question Tv thingies, what are they called and where do u get em?

Several times now, we have been in a bar, or restaurant and seen plasma screens simply showing tropical fish or a roaring fire, anybody know what these are called, and where to get them from, I presume they are dvds? They have one in the new Mullaloo beach hotel.

Errrr, forgive my ignorance, but why on earth would you actually want one??

OK, if you run a bar or hotel or something, but surely, at home, the TV is either ON or OFF?

Firstly, what the hells it got to do with you, and secondly, we have lots of barbies and parties, so rarther than having on tv that people cant here, thought it maight be an idea to have the aquarium dvd on, so people have a bit of background when they are chatting/drinking........is that OK with you, or do I need written permission.

What the hell's it got to do with me...? Errrrrr, you posted it in a 'public' forum!!! Think about it!

Firstly...........I was asking a polite question and even said, i quote, "forgive my ignorance".....

Secondly, I still don't get 'why' you would want one - at our parties, people are having such a good time anyway they couldn't give a damn about fish swimming on the TV (!)

Thirdly, it's people like you with your stinking attitude that we are going to Australia to get away from. I certainly hope our paths never cross - I don't like you already!

Was also wondering if there was going to be a 'thirdly' or 'fourthly' from you?

Taken from 'the' link:

As many of us continue with our fast paced lives, it becomes increasingly difficult for us to find the time for such traditionally relaxing things as having a fish tank, sitting by the fireplace, or keeping a few birds. In this day and age, who can really be bothered with cleaning fish tanks or bird cages, or chopping wood for the fire?

Now we're not suggesting that everyone rid themselves of their fish, birds or fireplace, but thanks to Real Life DVD's, everyone's able to enjoy these pleasures with "virtually" nothing to do, except of course finding the right remote control button.

With 5 different virtual environments, these "living art" titles are great for creating a unique atmosphere in your home or office.

And for those of you lucky enough to have one of those suave looking plasma or LCD displays, imagine the relaxing ambience these titles will create as they're left playing, day or night, even if you're not in front of the TV.


Wooooahhh, I stand corrected....definitley must rush out and buy one now then. I now realise what it is that my life was missing for complete fulfillment!! I mean, it even says, "everyone's able to enjoy these pleasures with "virtually" nothing to do"........how cool is that? Even me!!!!!
