This collection of T205 criticisms is wonderful. I wholeheartedly agree that T205s:

- remind me of looking into a funeral home
- creep me out
- are unattractive to me

- are like a bad video game drawing
- show chip and wear
- I am less enthused by
- look funny with the floating heads
- don't look so good
