Strange TV Experience

I'm not into the whole "hi def" craze because I don't see what the big deal is. Ok, it's because I can't afford it. Something very strange happened today when I was watching TV on a CRT system. I turned it on and the View was on. I cannot stress enough that I don't watch the View. I'm more of Ellen person. That's a joke. I do not watch the Ellen show either. Seriously, I don't. Let's get back to the topic at hand. So the View was on and there was some dude who was giving Whoopi some electronics. As a small aside, I wonder what Whoopi would look like with eyebrows. So one of the gifts she got was a hi def tv. The tv was playing clips from the view in hi def. For most guys, watching the View in the View would be enough to make their head explode. I was too shocked by what I was seeing to experience any cranial detonations. The tv playing hi def had better resolution than the rest of the shot. It makes no sense but it's true. The low def recording of the hi def tv was of better quality than anything else they recorded. What a world we live in where one can gain better picture by recording a tv than the actual object.
