A question I often ask myself.

"Did no one say 'um, wait a minute, guys...'?"

Burning cross


Because look at that thing. That thing had to make it past concept people, design people, accountants, marketers, and whoever it is that signs off on things, and not one of them looked at a five-and-a-half foot tall cross that looked like it was on fire and said "Hey, maybe people shouldn't be putting those in their yards?"

American Family Association, want to enlighten us?

Terry

Having grown up in Birmingham Alabama during the 50's and 60's I can tell you what I think of when I see that and it is not the birth of Christ.

Scott

Doesn't the UM cross and flame sorta look it a cross on fire also?!

Julie

Perhaps it's an import?
It may even come with other options: pink l.e.d. lights or even multi-color twinkle lights.
Is this line of decor available at Garden Ridge, or what?
