The seeming paradox reminds me of a simlar flavor one: the fact that if you accidentally knock a hole in your drywall, it's cheaper to cover it with a flat screen TV than to pay someone to fix the hole.

Even cheaper to buy a small tub of putty and a putty knife if you don't have one.

I was picturing more like a sledgehammer size hole.

[dardeaup]

That only works for really small holes.

Not that hard to patch the drywall yourself though.

Can't show ads on patched drywall

That's a plus - patch drywall doesn't show annoying, crappy, unwanted ads at every opportunity.
