That is one horrible pot.
It's not a pot, it's an urn. For an urn it looks pretty good.
Touché
It seems that each LED is wireless, not the entire tree. At $5 per power receiver that's 79 wireless lights.
yes thats the christams thought! lets give the children leukemia!
No seriously, wireless power cant be good for your body
I'm sure you got the medical degree to back up that claim too }:o)
if your scared of wireless signals i suggest you not live in america
I'm wondering if this tree is Bluetooth as well, it would be cool to see a Wireless Christmas Tree with Bluetooth build in it, so you can play some christmas music while lights go on ramdomly lol
You just HAD to, didn't you? You couldn't just leave bad-enough alone, nooooo, you had to go and suggest even more "improvements" that we are now bound to get spammed about for next cristmas - "Uh, here, make your xmas tree dance and blink in sync with that nSync tune playing on your cellphone!" ... Yrdk.
*goes away mumbling something chinese factories*

ps: The above was not meant to be taken too serious.
OOOOH! I got a suggestion! How about we make it smell like fruit loops!
that is a crappy tree, how do you put presents under?
My only question is, where you do you put the Baby Jesus?
In a blender, with all the other babies!
@KR: That's a stupid, fucked up thing to say you sick bastard!!!
@apeguero, actually its a cool thing to do
Wow, somebody woke up on the wrong side of dead baby jokes this morning!
@KR:
I'm sorry KR but I'm the proud father of 3 little ones and I don't take dead baby jokes lightly and I certainly would never joke about Jesus.
You are right, I should have used better words to express my displeasure with your comment. Fear not, I'm fully caffeinated now. My brain is at or near 100% and not at the 10% that it was when I responded to you :)
I'll move away from this post now.
Ah, therein lies the problem of text-based communication. With me, no offense is ever intended, because I believe a joke is just a joke. Harder to tell with text only.
Example: I'm both blond and a musician, but I still laugh at blond and musician jokes, because I know that no real offense is intended.
All's fair in love, war, and comedy. :D
a wireless tree would be useful for people (stores, mostly) that put their trees out in the open and not against a wall.
Is this thing necessary? It just wouldn't be Christmas without an electrical cord, a piece of timber, and a good old-fashioned fire hazard.
AH...Christmas memories!
As nak above pointed out:
There's still a cord to the urn. The little lights themselves are wireless.
I wonder how far you can take 'em from the 'tree' trunk.
There's a video too, but it's worthless as it says nothing about the item. No info as to the dimensions of the thing. The boss's wife is attractive.
I'd Pee in her butt j/k
It says that it's 4.5 feet tall. I would like to know how many lights it comes with... 80 or more and it's a bargain!
Obviously it is wireless, it works with batteries.. :D
