DVD player in a Darth Vader head

Every once and a while, I have to purposely exfoliate the layers of callous that have built up on my soul and allow the entombed child within out to squee.

Curmudgeon that I am, my first thought when looking at this Star Wars Darth Vader television: "Pfft. Cheap tat. No way that 14-inch screen is high-def. And the integrated DVD player? Not even Blu-Ray. George Lucas can choke a dick: he truly has no shame."

But then I remembered the kid inside of me who would have creamed himself to a galaxy far, far away if he got this for his birthday. "Holy shit, dude. A television shaped like Darth Vader's frickin' head, with a lightsaber remote and a DVD player? Mother, consider my love successfully bought off for another annum."

$212, if you've got a child to send a-squee.

Please, please, don't ever use the phrase "kid inside of me who would have creamed himself" ever again.

Seriously.
