Columnist Describes New Ailment: 'HD ADD'

Celia Rivenbark, a columnist for McClatchy Tribune Media Services, recently described a relatively new "medical condition" that's apparently plaguing her husband these days--HD Attention Deficit Disorder, or simply HD ADD.

She writes, "It's a little-known ailment that afflicts mostly men who are unable to turn their attention away from 'Sunrise Earth' long enough to get dressed and go to work in the morning. Instead, they cancel their appointments, sit in their bathrobes and watch the glorious day unfold to the sounds of rushing water all over the globe."

Instead, Rivenbark said she'd much rather prefer to see "if it's true that you can tell Marlena's age by counting the lines around her neck if you watch 'Days of Our Lives' on HD. Yeah, I'm that small-minded."

But she adds, in startling detail, that what she's looking for is a "flatscreen, 40-inch, 1080p LCD with dual HDMI HD inputs and 4000:1 contrast ratio."
