Wives, if you want your men to do all the housework in 2005, buy them plasma TVs for Christmas.This must be serious!
A new survey by plasma-maker Panasonic found that 36 percent of married men would do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry and other chores around the house for a year if their wives bought them the coveted TVs.
"I'd do it for two years!" said Jerry Longo of Danbury, Conn., as he surveyed the plasma screens at a Best Buy on Sixth Avenue in Chelsea yesterday.
Other possible benefits for women who give the gift of plasma:
* Half of married men would let in-laws visit whenever they want.
* Fifty-seven percent would let their wives pick their vacation spots.
My difficulty with the whole premise is that there has to be something worth watching on these multi-thousand dollar beauties to make them worth the investment and I'm stumped as to what that might be. It sure as heck can't be Dan Rather.
