British Men Would Give Up Sex for New TV

LONDON (Reuters) - Nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, a survey—perhaps unsurprisingly carried out for a firm selling televisions—said on Friday.
Electrical retailer Comet surveyed 2,000 Britons, asking them what they would give up for a large television, one of the latest consumer "must-haves".

The firm found 47 percent of men would give up sex for half a year, compared to just over a third of women.
"It seems that size really does matter more for men than women," the firm said.
A quarter of people said they would give up smoking, with roughly the same proportion willing to give up chocolate. (Reporting by Peter Apps, editing by Paul Casciato)

Sounds like a nice tv. I've been single so long what would another 6 months be? Where's my tv?

Re: British Men Would Give Up Sex for New TV

I would give Mrs Solid A 50 inch TV if I could give up sex for life
