The bill’s in 2-D

Where’s my IRS refund? They’ll set you back about $3,000, but 3-D TVs will start selling this week. The drawback? There are only a handful of 3-D Blu-ray discs available and ESPN won’t launch its 3-D channel until June.

Until then, put on the 3-D glasses and entertain yourself by reading the programming instructions.

  • Hilarity ensues: Two glass vials said to contain the ghosts of an old man and a disruptive little girl were sold in an online auction in New Zealand for about $2,000.

    We predict that in about a year, Disney will release a movie starring Abigail Breslin and Ed Asner as the ghosts and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a harried single father who welcomes the spirits into his family after his precocious children find the glass vials in the attic and unwittingly open them. In 3-D.

  • Survey says: A Harvard institute poll found that 6 of 10 young adults said they’re worried they won’t be able to meet their current bills and obligations.

    Ten out of 10 older adults said they’ll get used to it.

  • Dept. of Corrections: Complaints to the Better Business Bureau about banks increased by 42 percent in 2009. The Buzz got the number wrong in Tuesday’s edition. Lodge your complaint at thebuzz@heraldnet.com.
