Funai did better than Mitsubishi (#6), Sony (#7), Sharp (#8), Hitachi (#9), NEC (#10), Orion/Emerson (#11), and Fisher (#12).

Might I suggest a cheap Elvis impersonation? By that I mean shooting the screen out of it with Robert Goulet or Mel Torme on there. You have some really good ideas though, I really like the fakebook gag idea.
There is an RCA BPC down the street from me right now, or there was earlier today at least, and for some time before that. It was sitting by a dumpster with its power cord hacked off. TVs aren't accepted for trash pick up around here. Heck, they're not even accepted by thrift shops. If I had a blowtorch and a video camera with a tripod I would sneak down there in the middle of the night and have some fun with it. Then I would grab the tripod and camera and run like crazy.
