Fake Fireplaces

I had a thought during the holidays. Remember the DVD of a fireplace, that you put in your living room TV to pretend you have a warm fireplace? My parents have one, and so does my uncle.

When we got there on December 24th, we were greeted by the sound of such a fireplace. I know it is used to generate a comforting and cozy ambiance, but it got me into some useless thinking.

Where it got me is there:

• If I don't have a fireplace, I can watch a video of someone who does;
• If I don't have a girlfriend, I can watch a video of some guy who does.

A fake fireplace video, according to this impeccable logic, is considered as fire porn. Case closed.
