You NEED a Man Wall

With Thanksgiving behind us, we've officially entered Christmas/Bonus season. Inevitably, I've begun receiving lists of the coolest stuff to give both men and women this year in a brazen attempt to get me to sell out and become a pitchman. Not that I'm opposed to the idea (as long as the money was right) but the fact is I just haven't seen anything that cool on these lists (with the possible exception of this nifty device).

I certainly hadn't come across anything that would inspire a banker, especially a banker with the first decent bonus check in two years burning a hole in his wallet. Then I remembered something my wife showed me a few months ago. Somehow, she knows one of the guys behind this deal or something and thought I would get a kick out of it.

I present to you THE MAN WALL, billed as the Taj Mahal of man necessities. Gone are the days of drinking warm PBR out of a leftover keg while watching an SEC team kick the shit out of your alma mater on a 22-inch dorm TV. You're a banker now, damnit, and you've earned the finer things in life! Like watching an SEC team kick the shit out of your alma mater on a 42-inch flat panel HDTV while enjoying a cigar and a frosty cold one from your own custom keg-erator.

This thing has it all:

  • 42″ Vizio Flat Panel LCD HDTV
  • 3 – 26″ Vizio Flat Panel LCD HDTVs
  • 1000 watt Panasonic 5.1 Home Theater System
  • DVD player with 5-CD changer
  • iPod docking station
  • 2 – Wireless surround sound speakers
  • Live 7-foot sports ticker with built-in computer
  • 1 year free service for sports ticker
  • Full-size built-in beer refrigerated beer keg with tap
  • 1000 watt microwave oven
  • 2 cigar humidors (holds 25 cigars each) complete with gauges
  • 32-bottle wine rack

All that for $15,000 plus shipping. Plus there's the added satisfaction of knowing that this is the type of conspicuous consumption that's really gonna piss off the American taxpayer this year. I believe the bar has been raised, gentlemen, and no testosterone temple will be truly complete without a Man Wall. And, no, I didn't earn a penny to pitch this thing. It's just that fucking cool.
