WTF happened?
We went from this...
Exhibit A) Manly loudspeakers
to this?
Exhibit B) A modern (metrosexual?) "loud" speaker
What led us down the dismal road from A to B? What did our fathers know that we do not? Every household I visit now is infested with tiny, cheap plastic boxes, flimsy boom boxes and home-theaters-in-a-box, and wives gasp with laughter and roll their eyes when I suggest that their husbands/boyfriends, my friends, man up and get some real loudspeakers. "Over my dead body," is the clear pledge, sometimes spoken aloud with no shame. My friends roll their eyes sheepishly, and surreptitiously, say nothing. Such a shame.
