I mean, I got this sucker for two reasons: first, I hate Apple but I wanted an iMac; and second, I wanted to be able to watch interesting and well-crafted sketch comedy using the TV tuner. Not typos in local newspapers. What is this garbage? Oh, wow, look at that: people say dumb things when you blindside them with a celebrity, a camera crew, and a lighting rig. No kidding.
