## The story

Dad did not pay for a giant widescreen TV just to watch black bars on the sides. So every old rerun got stretched to fill the screen. News anchors looked like they had been sat on, cartoon characters got chubby cheeks, and the weather map turned the whole state into a pancake. Nobody ever figured out how to switch it back.

## Fun fact

Grandma switched hers to stretch on the very first day and spent four years watching extra-wide game shows.
