1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Color July 2, 2011

By Saad Khan

I would like to preface this review with the fact that I am from the planet Norx'Blath and live in a pod-station where HD television is outlawed, mainly due to reminding everyone of the days when my people lived in barbarism and savageness, watching television using analog signals.

However, I have very fond memories of receiving an HDTV when I was 267 years old, merely an infant. I had just bought an HDTV but needed a suitable HDMI cable, and after seeing this on amazon.paralleluniverse.uk for the unbeatable price of 3z^87 phlangths (2,500 of your American Earth dollars), I just couldn't resist the nostalgia and had it delivered overnight using Amazon Prime Illegal Smuggling (and just for the record, I would like to give props to those guys for delivering across 26 dimensions of space time in less than 6 of your Earth hours. Great dedication, or as they say in my pod-station: GARXXXX).

I was so excited, almost going so far as to trip the emotional alarms the newest dictator had installed in our pods. However, I turned down my EMOTION dial and received the shipment the way most illegal shipments are received on my planet: through the cut-glass plumbing (don't ask). I hooked it up immediately and started playing a game on the GameStation Interstellar Network powered by AT&T.

In fact, I had hooked it up so fast that I hadn't even noticed the color, which was black. You see, on Norx'Blath, black is the color one uses when he has cheated on his significant other with galactic farm animals. A very specific situation, yes, and it pains me to admit it is very common on Norx'Blath. But since the glorious world government (who is infallible in their judgment) deems this an unacceptable color, I must give this cable the score it deserves....

Or maybe I could use this chance to assert my own free will over a domineering government. Maybe I could learn a thing or two from you humans. That does it. I have lived in oppression long enough. From now on I will--

POD-GOVERNOR'S NOTE: This gentleman has decided of his own free will to not continue the review and has turned himself in, again of his own free will, for violation of state laws, which prohibit mention of intercourse with galactic farm animals. He has requested, OF HIS OWN FREE WILL, that his parting message speak of the glorious government's infallible judgment and the fact that his death penalty is completely deserved. He has also left the HDMI cable in my possession, of his own free will, along with his GameStation holo-console (powered by AT&T). None of this was done through coercion by the glorious world government, the leader of whom is handsome and perfect in all he does.

Please disregard all information in this review. Especially the bit about galactic farm animals.

Signed,
Glorious Norx'Blathian World Government

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingnessosity!!! January 30, 2011

By This Guy 2100

(To kick things off - Hi Reddit! I'm nobody2000)

First off, I bought one of these for my $200 19" Visio. It displays 720P, but NOT ANY MORE!!!

When I got this cable, it came wrapped in bacon, which I thought was pretty weird, but shrugged it off, slid off my recliner into my Rascal, scooted from the living room to the kitchenette, and started cooking my bacon-wrapping.

As the smell of delicious pork back filled my double-wide, I turned around to look again at the box the cable came in.

Could this be? Yes! It was a "3 wolves barking at the moon shirt" and even better, it fit me perfectly (I wear an XXXXL).

So I yumplugged (get it, yum because of the bacon?) the crappy coax and component cables from my TV, and slapped in the HDMI golden cable between the visio and the blu-ray.

I was completely unprepared for what would turn out to be the best day ever.

I dusted off my....oh who am I kidding...I was already watching my "Mama's Family: season 1" Blu Ray (disc one). The magic began...

Once Vicki Lawrence appeared on screen, she broke character AND the fourth wall. She, and the rest of the cast jumped OUT of my TV, and performed the episode on my living room floor!!!!

Screw 1080P! This is way better. I thought to myself that having a 12" real-life "mama's family" cast was awesome. I wondered what would happen if I had a bigger TV...

Or better yet, used this cable to plug it into that giant TV screen they have at Cowboys Stadium!

Anyway, I was in for a further treat when I was watching a Betty White episode. Oh MAN!!! Could life get better?

I spoke too soon......

After enjoying some drinks with the mini-cast of "Mama's family" (my own mama left me all her Hooch in the will), we threw on the TV. I turned it on to family guy, and the same thing happened.

I was able to punch that Jesus-hating Peter Griffin and that smart-assed dog in their sacrilegious faces. Mini-Betty White even did a pile driver to Stewie.

MacGyver came on, and we all were in 7th heaven (and when 7th Heaven came on, it was EVEN Better).

I could go on and on about my day, but i'm gonna stop here. BUY THIS CABLE.

It could easily be the best $2594.75 you ever spend...

(also, you can buy a $4 HDMI cable and get good results. unlike analog cables, digital cables either work or they don't. You can't PAY for it to work better!) Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars It has changed my life forever February 21, 2011

By David Williams

I was going to buy a $2.82 hdmi cable on amazon and then I came across this masterpiece, and I knew I had to do whatever it takes to get it. After getting a 3 month advance on my salary thanks to the fine folks at the check cashing place who only charged me a 35% interest rate, I was in business to finally own one of these beauties. Because of the price amazon decided to send the hdmi cable by armored car. Originally I was going to use the money to buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend, but I came upon this cable and decided this could keep me warm at night all by itself. So I dumped the girlfriend, and now when not in use, this cable tucks itself in next to me all snug and warm. It even reads bed time stories to me from time to time which help with my night terrors.

As to when this cable is plugged in, oh wow, the picture literally jumps off the screen and into my living room. It even makes commercials come alive, there was one for the angus burger at mcd's and I was hungry and all i had to do was reach out towards the screen and grab it and bam dinner was served. You have to be careful with that feature though because you will gain weight spending too much time on the couch. The best part is I dont even own a tv, I plugged this thing into 2 pieces of cardboard and some chewing gum, and bam I had 500 channels. I dont know how that happened, but one of the armored car drivers did resemble Macgyver. Hurry out and get one before they get bought up!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Miracle worker September 11, 2011

By Erik Schmalenberger

I recently was diagnosed with stage 3 intestinal carcinoma. I also recently purchased this cable for my new HDTV.

I connected the cable into my TV, and after watching 45 minutes of Discovery Channel HD, my cancer went into total remission, and I was cured. This cable is perfect for all HDTVs and I would highly recommend it to anyone suffering from terminal diseases.
