How would you like to play a $13 Etch-A-Sketch on your $3500 52 inch LCD TV? Just about everybody had an Etch-A-Sketch when they were a kid, but if you didn’t it’s not too late. $13 will get you an electronic version that you can play on your TV and, get this, when you shake the controller it erases the picture. Unlike the real one there is probably an undo button.  It's the perfect gift to address a Boomer's midlife crisis: an excuse to get a big-screen TV and to relive one's childhood.
The "Deluxe TV Etch-A-Sketch" has a handheld controller that plugs into the television so you can put your work on display for all to see--until someone wants to watch something, anyway. The knobs look a little different from those on the original, so purists might not allow it in any sort of competition.
