An all-in-one for winter
Imagine a winter weekend morning. You wake up, let the dog out, and fetch the Sunday paper, two unwrapped Playstation 3 games, some newly arrived Netflix and a cup of coffee (made per the timer you actually remembered to set).
Where are you going next? No, not to the couch with a blanket and pillow, or to the kitchen to argue over whether the new Ferrari Dino will be a front-engine or mid-engine car.
You climb back under the warm blankets of your bedroom, settle in and...up pops your flattie from the foot of your bed. A remote control triggers the silent glide of the 22-inch flat screen from this Bim Bam Banana TV Bed.
Bliss is yours for a mere $26,000.
