Ok. This is a warning.

[Fovea]

If anyone puts one of these in their front yard, I will officially become medieval on their ass.

I grew up dealing with knuckle dragging K lan freaks.
Not in my hood. Aint happening.

[saltpoint]

1. It's a tacky toy for the Biblically insecure.

They are so faint and wobbly in their faith that they have to burn an electric cross in their yard all night long.

They'd be better off going with Frosty the Snowman. I always appreciated Frosty the Snowman. He seemed to be quite happy with very little and asked nothing ideologically of anyone in his company. Little kids and birds, for example, seem to trust him very much.

[Fovea]

2. It's not the biblical reference that gets me hot under the collar

it is the 'burning cross' image.

Whoo does that push bad racism buttons.

[saltpoint]

13. Yes. It's poor form on a variety of levels for a lot of reasons.

[notadmblnd]

4. Two 2bys and a string of dollar store lights = electronic cross?

5 dollars worth of material and you too can show your ignorance. Whether it's racist or just some ignorant christian, it's a big ripoff at 81.00. What makes these people think that if Jesus were to return to earth, that he would want to see blazing crosses, or any crosses for that matter?

[saltpoint]

11. Good point -- if the Galilean returned this evening and saw that

shining in someone's yard, I doubt he would appreciate the reference.

[Deja Q]

16. Most Biblically insecure people prefer vibrators, diapers, and tap dancing shoes...

:yoiks:

[saltpoint]

19. : )

[patrice]

21. Ding! Ding! Ding! Weeee have th' WINnnnaaaahhhhhhh! Give OC the door prize!

:applause:

[electron_blue]

3. It looks like a burning cross.

Is that what it's supposed to look like?

[Deja Q]

10. Dammit, you beat me to it!

:cry:

[dkofos]

5. Only $81.85

For a dollars worth of lights, 2 sticks, and a screw.

[Deja Q]

17. And getting screwed in the process. A hooker is cheaper and you'll still glow in the end...

See my other response regarding two crosses about that glowing thing...

[Kali]

6. EIGHTY bucks

for two $2.99 100 light strings wound around a couple bucks worth of PVC or tube steel??? SUCKERS

[Deja Q]

15. And made in China! Which means:

The inevitable result of using cheap lighting whose label reads "For indoor use only, and even then you're a fool."

:(

[liberalmuse]

7. Hmmm.

All that's missing is a Nativity scene with Jesus, Mary and Joseph dressed in Klan hoods.

[Deja Q]

14. Blimey. Don't forget the 3 wise men and the goat...

[Are_grits_groceries]

33. Where on earth would they get 1 wiseman much less 3?? nt

[rucky]

8. Putting the "K" back in Christmas.

[Deja Q]

12. Misconstrued; don't you mean "KKK"?

:hide:

[Deja Q]

9. In lieu of post 3, I will show you lot a burning cross or two:

A symptom of herpes is a burning sensation, right? I don't have it, but if I went to New York City where 1 in every 4 people has it and have them fill out a questionnaire... then I'll know more about it! :party:

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Damn what am I going to get you for Christmas now??

:hi:

[Fovea]

23. A door pentacle of holly?

Mistletoe?

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Those would be cheaper

:rofl:

[Vickers]

20. Nothing says Christmas like a device used to kill someone.

O8)O8)O8)O8)O8)O8)O8)O8)O8)O8)

[patrice]

22. Ahh, the essence of pseudo-Christianity schizophrenic Love-Hate.

[drumtrip]

24. Thats too offensive... nt

[alphafemale]

26. I don't know. Maybe if you nailed Santa to it.

:hide:

[stuntcat]

27. sweet!

best answer on here! :headbang: LOL's

[alphafemale]

40. Lookee what I found!

[stuntcat]

43. it's beautiful..

After I read this yesterday I was thinking of making one of my own, I should have known it had been done lol If I made one I'd have to hide it from my neighbors anyway.

[stuntcat]

48. omg wait wait

I'm gonna design a flat one and make it out of stained glass!! :rofl: :rofl: I might not finish it in time but it'll ALWAYS ROCK!

[alphafemale]

61. woot

:applause: :hi:

[stuntcat]

62. it's gonna be easy!

a santa suit and a cross. I'll just have his hat down so the face won't be many pieces.

I'm finishing a shark eating a swimmer but when this piece is done I can make a crucified Santa :evilgrin: and specially for Christmastime!


:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[alphafemale]

63. That is great. I loved sick twisted humor.

:hi:

[malaise]

29. Knowing that bunch you should expect this

[TexasObserver]

28. has the KKK ever once used a cross lit with electric lights?

Sorry, but the connection to "burning crosses" is far too tenous.

[Speed8098]

30. Too Tenuous?

Are you kidding me?

If you're driving by that cross lit up in someones front yard it would be difficult to tell the difference if it were burning or lit by lights.

Not to mention the fact that Christmas is supposed to celebrate the BIRTH of Christ, not his death.

[TexasObserver]

31. Yes, too tenuous.

The cross is a Christian symbol. It's not even unusual to see one in lights.

Your attempt to associate the lighted cross with the KKK version is really reaching.

[Speed8098]

44. That's the beauty of America

You can have your opinion and I can have mine.

Have a wonderful day :hippie:

[youthere]

32. Looks like it's burning to me.

[TexasObserver]

37. probably macular degeneration

[Realityhack]

51. More likely the style of the photograph.

It isn't like they neatly lined the edges with lights. The photo is reminiscent of flame. I doubt it would look like flame in person.

[youthere]

53. Could be. I'm no spring chicken.

[Are_grits_groceries]

34. It is to be expected from a group lead by the Rev. Donald Wildmon

who once claimed that Mighty Mouse was sniffing cocaine from a flower in a cartoon. He is a major hater of LGBT.
This website will give you a goooood look at all his hateful "projects." http://www.mediacoalition.org/reports/wildmon

[Ganja Ninja]

35. Paint a bunch of lawn gnomes white and you've got a Republican

Christmas diorama.

[surrealAmerican]

36. How can the person designing this idea have pitched it ...

... to his/her boss, without thinking: "Hmmm, burning cross, that sounds familiar." Imagine the number of people who signed off on the plans to have this thing mass produced. What kind of world are these people living in?

[dysfunctional press]

38. get a life.

why would someone put it in their own lawn if it's supposed to represent a burning cross?
did/do a lot of kkk-types erect burning crosses in their own yards? :shrug: it's always been my understanding that they put them in other people's yards.

[Terran]

39. I agree the cross is somewhat inappropriate as a Xmas symbol, BUT

your attempt to conflate this item with a burning cross is just plain silly.

[krispos42]

41. It's just a lower-case "t". A lower-case "t" for "tolerance"!!!

[shadowknows69]

42. Check out the video section on that site if you want to get even more enraged

They have a documentary of the "Hero" of "The Great War", Stonewall Jackson.

[Raster]

45. All that cross needs now is Jesus of the flames.

[Cobalt-60]

46. Carumba. I could make that for 10 bucks

with dollar store components.
But why would I do it?
If I want to honor the birth of anyone, I won't do it
with the instrument of their eventual demise.

[youthere]

54. There you go..make a shitload of them and undersell the bastards.

[EmilyAnne]

47. Are they trying to wish the neighborhood a Merry KKKristmas?

Morans.

[Cleita]

57. Sure seems like it, doesn't it.

:rofl:

[bdamomma]

49. oh boy, that gives me the willies.

looks like something the KKK would do.

[LynneSin]

50. Ok true story about a house with a Ten Commandment sign on their lawn

I would pass this house everytime I would drive home to visit family and this was a drive that cut me thru some rural parts of Lancaster County.

I figured that house had some nut jobs if they had to put the 10 Commandments on their front lawn, that was until this past summer late in August and there it was - an Obama sign. And I thought maybe someone was goofing on them but the sign was there when I drove home 2 days later. So I thought "well perhaps they're gone for the weekend and didn't know what was there". A month later I was driving thru there again and the sign was gone - replaced with an Obama/Biden sign instead.

Go figure.

[salguine]

52. Relax. All it would take would be a couple of people

at different times to call the cops about a cross burning. After the third or fourth visit from the cops saying "we got a call that you were burning a cross in your yard," they might take it down anyway.

[spanone]

55. my first thought was KKK

[greguganus]

56. Crosses are for Easter, not for Christ's birth. Shows how much they know. n/t

[Sequoia]

58. Looks like an undercover KKK cross to me.

[GoneOffShore]

59. Merde -

I click on teh link to the AFA!!!!11

Have to get new computer now.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

60. Respond with this:

[Greyhound]

64. This reminds me an old Sam Kinison routine;

"If Jesus did come back, do you really think he would like to see crosses everywhere"?

Talk about a PTSD flashback.

[grannylib]

65. Oh dear God, that is just sick. Sick. Here's the comment I sent them:

This is a KKK symbol, barely disguised. And the cross is NOT a Christmas symbol; it might be appropriate for Easter, but not Christmas. This is bordering on a hate crime, that you are selling this CRAP under the guise of Christianity.
Why not sell some illuminated nooses while you are at it? Will you be selling red and green hooded robes next?
This is FILTH. Pure filth. And so are you, and anyone who spends money on this garbage.
You should be ashamed of yourselves, but that would require a conscience, which clearly you don't possess.
