A modest, and rather brilliant, proposal

This is why I propose a radical change in reception table centrepieces. If we’re going to insist on giving these things away, can we at least make sure that they’re practical gifts that actual human beings would want to utilise inside their own homes? Like an Xbox 360. I know, an Xbox is not very attractive aesthetically—but it’s available in white, which is the predominant colour scheme in 99% of all weddings. And as a guest you’d be pleased as hell to win one at the reception; you’d probably bail out early just to get home and plug that baby in! Blending in with home decor is not an issue, since it’s going to be stuffed into an entertainment console below the TV. chris taylor

I don’t even play video games and I think this is a brilliant idea.
