The World's Worst Christmas Tree?

Just before Christmas recedes into the distance, I thought I would put this monstrosity forward as my candidate for the World's Worst Christmas Tree (click on the picture for a bigger version). It comes, via Bifurcated Rivets, from a website called Uglychristmaslights.com, where you can find some other gruesome specimens. I suppose it does provide a use for all those PC magazine CDs containing programs that you didn't know you really needed, and now wish you hadn't installed!

There seems to be a disturbing trend for Christmas trees to look less and less like, well, trees, and more like multibranched fibreoptic nightmares. Bring back proper Christmas Trees, I say! You've got a year to do it.
