Hello everyone,
My last post was about how excited I was about buying a Doctor Who poster from England. Well, to follow up on that, I received the poster from Royal Air, sent it over to Hobby to custom frame (can you say ex-pen-sive?), then, just two days ago, they called to tell me it was ready to be picked up. So I jetted over there, and what they handed me was the most enormous poster I'd ever seen. And as I was paying for it, I thought to myself, "Do I even want to put this on my wall?" A mental image of going to someone's house and seeing an enormous Steve Urkel or Balki Bartokomous poster crossed my mind. I mean, Doctor Who is a cool show, but do I need to display it as prominently in my home as others do national flags?
Currently, the enormous thing is in my closet, creating quite a traffic jam for my laundry basket, and when I get an apartment this summer, it may or may not go up.
What do you all think? Would it be lame to go over to someone's house and see an enormous friends or Seinfield poster on the wall? You see, old movie posters have that retro thing going on, but do posters of television shows garner that same status? I wonder if there are any people who have 1979 Battlestar Gallactica posters in their homes. Also, what if I get married one day and my wife either accidently breaks it or begins to hate me for making her look at it every day?
Paranioa out.

i just think it might be a little too late to be asking these questions...
maybe you should find a laser removal service.
It is funny how much we brand people by the way their homes look and feel. I think you should put it up, but if you are second guessing then just put it up in your room........that cat is awesome.
Put it up... I once bought a bus sign of Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider. It was 5'x 25'. No that was a huge poster. I was managing a bar at the time and we had a tomb raider party. But someone actually took that huge poster home. I don't know if they put it on a wall or two, but I say that if you like it then put it up.
Yea, I'm with the others. Put the darn thing up. You paid good money for it plus you WANTED it bad, right? Enjoy it!
Laser removal service...!!HA!!
