Researchers: Homes have more TVs than people

And you wonder why things in American are so strange:

CNN.com - Researchers: Homes have more TVs than people - Sep 22, 2006:

NEW YORK (AP) — The average American home now has more television sets than people.

That threshold was crossed within the past two years, according to Nielsen Media Research. There are 2.73 TV sets in the typical home and 2.55 people, the researchers said.

With televisions now on buses, elevators and in airport lobbies, that development may have as much to do with TV’s ubiquity as an appliance as it does conspicuous consumption. The popularity of flat-screen TVs now make it easy to put sets where they haven’t been before.
