As much as I would love an HDTV, it wasn’t my roommate whose television I so epically demolished, it was my suitemate. At my university we have two rooms to a suite. He was doing something dangerous by having the plug strung such a way that someone could step on it like I did, I suppose, but that’s kind of beside the point. He didn’t seem to care all that much about it, saying that it was fine and that he needed to study instead of watch TV anyways.
As an aside, there seriously was a voice in my head screaming “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” as the television fell.
