Mother Installs 100-Inch TV in Son’s Bedroom Ceiling

Australian Post Posted by Amber Robinson at 11:25 PM on July 28, 2009

U.S. woman Patti Deni wins coolest — or craziest — mother of the year for her home renovation featuring a giant 100-inch television ceiling-mounted above her teenage son’s bed.

Ms. Deni wanted to surprise her teenage son by giving him his own big-screen TV, so while their new home was being built, she contacted her local audio-visual store with an an idea: Instead of mounting the set to the wall, like everyone else does, she suggested having the TV laid flush across the ceiling. Of course!

To do this, installers had to reframe and reinfore the ceiling to hold the massive video projector, screen and projector mirrors that made-up the TV system.

Although it kind of hurts my neck just to look at a photo of the television set-up, apparantly the boy doesn’t have to be completely horizontal to view it. Which is good, or Ms. Deni could be facing some massive chiropractic bills.

The  mother claims that her son spends much of his time viewing and editing his own videos, not playing Grand Theft Auto.

Let’s hope they don’t have to lift him out of his bed via a crane in afew years due to all that inactivity.
