HDTV: Is it "All That"? Kevin Cowherd: Clearly, You Must See the Humor in High-Def Television. This is a funny article, but I'm not certain what the author's intentions are. Personally, I think HDTV looks exponentially better than regular TV. (I'll own one as soon as the price of HDTVs, HD-DVDs and the HD-DVD players drop significantly - which isn't very far away.)
