Vizio TV

Okay, so I went off a while back on TV/screen manufacturers who almost invariably choose to recede into the shelves among their competition by using images of paradise on the fake screens printed on their packaging. Here’s the post. If you head to the TV section of your favorite retailer, you’ll see even more examples of these on the shelves today (too many, in fact, to be worthy of photographing each one).

Well, not that I have any power in getting them to heed my warnings, but Vizio has a new box that they’re using that has ballerinas on it:

20071214-Vizio-Ballerina-Girl

Their main buyer is probably a family dude — not a ballet mom — so I’m going to guess that this might be standing out a little too much. But, hey, I suppose that it’s at least standing out. And, who know, maybe pink Dewalt tools will eventually make a very strong showing.

Here’s another box from the post mentioned above:

I guess even here they have chosen a Bird of Paradise and not a scene from paradise.
