Subject: Why do looters always take the TVs?

We work in the dark to serve the light.

I mean, honestly, it's the end of the world and you take a bloody telly? There's got to be about a thousand things infinitely more useful that a television in the apocalypse. Y'know, like food, or first aid supplies. So why raid the Radio Shack? Raid the nearest convenience store and/or hospital. I mean, it's common sense people, common sense.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Because they are portable heaters for winter.

Next time I go looting I'm hitting the liquor store first!

Because good TVs are expensive, and people like free things.

I gaze upon the stars and see the majesty that is the universe.


EGO mos bulla astrum.

When the Apocalypse begins they probably don't know that it's going to be useless. They just want stuff.

If you want a heater for your home, slap 2 SLI 560tis in your PC and call it a day (season?).

Actually common sense isn't very common.

  • 12.04.2012 6:28 PM PDT

Mreh.

Well, I think that they're playing on the idea that things will get back to normal and that the police will be too busy to track down missing Televisions. Besides T.V.s are useful beyond watching cartoons, with today's electromagonical advances they can be used as computer monitors or anything that can display visual output.

560s don't run hot, at least not if you have a case that costs more than $30.

UnitedBands.net

My band and artist networking/information site. Check it out!

because tv's are tv's...they're valuable, and you can't exactly track them from an individuals house, because I highly doubt they have the serial number of their tv to claim it.

Jewelry and other valuables on the other hand...more easily identifiable.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Because human instinct wants to take the thing of most value so no one else can have it. When this happens people often become jealous even though they get the better deal.
