That's so 90's.

The new thing that technically unsophisticated people do is buy a new HD television and leave the aspect ratio set to stretch their 4:3 picture out to 16:9, making everybody look fat.

I think that I can safely say that I've only seen one single wide TV in a home that was not set that way.

Sure. But you can't say that with a blink tag ;-)

CNN is always shown this way in airports and I fly so much that it now looks normal to me.

I assume my brain has learned to compensate.
