John Lewis' Ultimate kitchen combo includes obligatory LCD TV

While those of us here in America puff our chests out each time we waltz by that LCD-equipped centralpark Connection refrigerator, folks in the UK can get extra prideful courtesy of John Lewis. Although the integrated coffee machine, electric oven, steam oven and 19-inch HD-ready LCD TV can all be purchased separately, they're being (smartly) marketed together to create the "ultimate kitchen combo." The whole shebang will run you £2,246 ($4,363), and not surprisingly, it's the £699 ($1,358) tele that's likely to bring in the most profit. Meat-heads will agree to anything with pixels though, right?

A retailer offers a bundle deal on indivually available products.

How exactly is that news?

you go 100 mph and jump out the back while driving the bus of a cliff.

The bus starts off at 0 MPH, it already blew up.

Can it take a joke?

Yes. Very nice. But how ultimate will this be when the OLED-equipped version with a 2x blue laser microwave and profile 2.0 compliant firmware comes out?

break the door off a convertible trying to get onto said bus, get the driver shot, jump a 50 foot gap in the freeway, circle the runways at LAX till you get the passengers off and let the bus blow up a cargo plane

...and watch Keanu Reeves before he learns kung-fu

Not a fan of the tele in the fridge. No.

"Tele"? It's a bloody "telly" mate!

That'd go great with the "Ultimate Kitchen Computer" Ryan Joseph wrote about (http://www.dawningvalley.com/2008/06/the-extremely-cool-kitchen-computer/ ).
