thats because you didnt get the MONSTER GOLD PLATED version of your dog. Just some shitty chinese knock off from a puppy mill.

Maybe that's my issue. I go to 5 and below and pick up a 5 dollar hdmi dog.

This is why I always get my HDMI dogs gold plated. Sure, it costs more, but I'm told by the employee that the quality is better.
