As to why my mind is boggled.

In reply to z31maniac:

They didn't have a real tree flown in?

weren't they broke and desolate like, 6 months ago?

An Islam country with a christian tree. Jesus is a prophet of Islam, though.

Nope, it's that those in control aren't worried about offending the countries Muslim populace, whilst here in America (where the majority is Catholic/Protestant) sponsors change the name of a "Christmas Parade" to a "Holiday Parade" to make sure they offend the majority instead of the minority.

Or like in Austria, a guy was just fine 800 Euros for yodeling while mowing his lawn. His Islamic neighbor thought he was mocking his call to prayer..........and even if he was? Get over it. Sheesh.

Otto: I think you did miss the bar a smidge. It's better to be concerned now, rather than surprised later when they come to haul you off.

On Topic: $11M for a fake tree? Why?

In reply to DoctorBlade:

Now that I've actually read the article instead of worrying about off topic comments -

The tree was only $10K. The remainder of the cost is jewelry that can be removed and used for whatever.
