    One day I was using my computer, when I noticed something strange on the screen. It was a little grey mark, moving about on the screen in a seemingly random fashion. It was a little bug of some kind... but it was actually under the screen! I tried to shoo it out of the monitor, but I accidentally squashed it to death, because I forgot the screen of a TFT is flexible. Now there is a little stain on everything I view, thanks to the tiny insect corpse. This would never have happened if I had bought a CRT instead!

      That's not a bug, it's a feature!

      That's not a feature, it's a creature.

    If you are watching porn, you will have to conceal more than just the screen if you don't want people to know.
