Product Placement Likened to Lego-Sized Pixels

Perhaps in disgust over being forced to incorporate ever more sizable product placement within network television shows, the writers of House gave House these choice words to say while he stared into a gigantic Dell monitor, “Why don’t I have a high-def in my office? I’m a department head. Tissue characterization is impossible when the pixels are the size of Legos.” Yes, and soon product placements will be the size of the TV screen negating the need for actors at all. Oh wait, without actors, there’s no shows. Without shows, there’s no place to put product placements. Hmm, we better keep our product placements smaller than legos. (Oh, and for you Lego freaks, notice how he said LegoS and not Lego?)
