Neon Spray Painted Christmas Trees?

MY EYES!!!!! I'M BLIIIIIIIIIIIND!!!

Here's a question for ya: is the intoxicating scent of a fresh pine tree worth subjecting yourself to such potentially blinding colors on a daily basis throughout the month of December? Even worse, you might blind Santa himself when he hops down that chimney and comes face to face with a neon pink spray painted Christmas tree. Not exactly the best way to stay off the naughty list.

Also, it's just weird seeing palm trees as the backdrop for a Christmas tree sales lot. Mele Kalikimaka, anyone?

Only in L.A.

well, it caught your attention and so i guess it worked right. Even better if that spray was a flame retardant (though it probably isnt a flame retardant, probably just some paint left over from the 80's).

But see?

isnt it nice here in southern california?
(besides all the dangerous stuff)
its a damn fine place to live.

My answer:I don't know what the hell is going on lately, but crazier stuff seems to be coming out of some wretched pit this season. I mean, come on... Those antlers designed to adorn you car are bad enough. Do we really need Christmas trees that come painted in attention-seeking colors just to show the spirit?

We are all doomed for sure.

Personally, I'd paint my tree black and hang those cottony spiderwebs and pumpkin lights on it. Maybe put a bat on the top.
Alas, Mum will hear none of it...

Is MTV's Pimp my Ride taking a new approach? "Please MTV, pimp my Christmas trees"

Guys, dont you know. Those are naturally colored. Theyre the rare magic spruce trees from the gumdrop forest

Those are truly hideous. I can feel the Christmas spirit screaming in agony just by looking at them.

Ugh, those are blindingly bright! Who in their right mind would BUY such a thing?! I'm SO glad I don't use trees anymore - it's light-up cactus all the way for me!

This reminds me of the trees for sale in the Charlie Brown Christmas special. That special was made in the 60s when people were doing really tacky things with their Christmas trees. No wonder Charlie Brown chose the scrawny little tree.

Not that I am someone who is on the brink of fashion but every better get out your sunglasses because the 80's are coming back. My cousin just turned 13 and just these high top chucks that are half day-glo yellow and blue. I didn't have the heart to tell her that they are a slight against god and thats why CA burns every year. She'll learn in 10 years though when she looks at old pictures...

Does anyone remember the shoes that had zippers around the soles so you could have different colors? I might have dreamt (dreamed?) this.

Oh my god! I love it! I currently have a silver Christmas tree (artificial of course), and have been eyeing a black one, as well as a purple one. I think Christmas is inherently tacky, and I relish the tackiness of it all!

...An open flame next to a dry pine tree? Angry, I'll start the fund to rebuild your house now.

Oh god I want the pink one. Why, oh why, don't they sell these in Brooklyn? This is way cooler and cheaper (yeah I'm broke) than getting a tree and buying a bunch of ugly ass ornaments that you then have to store in your pea sized apartment.

And p.s. I don't know where you guys are from but the 80s comeback thang is pretty old news. Right now fashion wise we are in the 90s grunge revival, hence these people...

Sure, their crazy tacky, but I respect their right to exist. Its LA county after all, you should be able to find anything you want, and in multiple colors.

Hey Angryhydralisk, what about Santa? What does he get for/from your Hardcore Christmas? An atomic Arabian facebuster? A Tazmission (the Tazihajimae or however it's spelled)? A chokeslam from 911?

DID someone say CHRISTMAS RAVE?!

well, not yet, but together as one is coming up soon.

And christmas rave, yes, but bring a toy and a costume and its a ton cheaper, but no one wants to see a guy in that kind of stuff, but still.

anyone actually going?

Like Kelvin and Liquidcross, my immediate thoughts exactly.

Although, apparently you can purchase replicas of Charlie Brown's little tree, complete with stand, single red bulb, and I believe it's pre-drooped as well.

Hey DarkfireTaimatsu, thanks for the idea! I've got a huge Lord of the Rings Fell Beast nesting atop of my tree. Maybe I'll take the rest of my LOTR action figures and have them in a mock battle all over the tree instead of ornaments. I should also decorate my 2 ft tall Ent and put it next to the tree for irony.
