The mother of all fishtanks!

They call it "creative art"

I'd call it a really crappy end for a mint 1978 Philips Phonola...

Some things are just plain ugly and the creator should be hung or drowned in the tank. Not an issue with destroying a tele but creating a really ugly thing form it.

Hi gianni

I'm going to meet him soon as i have a 1983 Beovision for him and he has a couple of Philips K30/K40 and a few other 80s sets for me.

I have just restored the wonderful 1975 Philips KM2 he gave me last time!

There are those on this Earth that are born, live their life, and then die, without ever having come up with a bright idea to contribute to society.

Then there are those that come up with bright ideas, and implement them, and the world would've been better off had they not.

To make something look like something it is not smacks sometimes of a degree of impropriety.

I say it is better that a fish tank should look like a fish tank--just my thought.....
