Someone asked that answer on the linked page. The answer was simple - the mount would simply jump, together with the TV, forward in time to when the power is restored.

It’s the one day of the year when at least people treat the internet with an appropriate amount of skepticism.

I didn’t see the specs on the optional add-on (girl.) I want that almost as much as the TV mount.

I couldn’t resist temptation, in spite of the price. I bought one of these mounts. Woe to doubters – it works perfectly![sup]\*[/sup]
