The Affluent Society

The replacement remote control for the digital videorecorder came with a set of labels.

The economy can't be that bad if:

1) satellite subscribers have so many DVR remotes that they need to label them;

2) DVRs and accompanying flatscreen TVs are in bathrooms, garages, "theatres", fifth bedrooms, and play rooms.

For the time being we'll just have to remember which remote goes in the servants' quarters.
