You know that tree is growing so straight... if we cut it down it'd make a really good cell phone tower.
Why don't they just put the electronics stuff on the tops of actual trees?
Can't have trees be too lit (on fire).
Trees grow, get felled
I chopped one of these down one time. It took forever.
Next time use a hacksaw, rather that the axe
Oooh, it's an antenna. For a moment I wasn't really sure why someone would go through the trouble of making a fake tree.
“So you’re a REAL tree?”
Yesh. I make worrie aboot Christmas time. Family cut me and make ornament on my face.
“This dude is legit.”
It's not impressive to attach green plastic bits to camouflage a cell tower (which IMO makes it uglier and more noticeable than just a bare antenna mast).
It would be extremely impressive if they could actually derive the required power from onboard photovoltaics though!
I thought it's just a big Araucaria Heterophilia.
How do you do my fellow leaves?
I'm seeing a lot less of that these days, thankfully. Los Angeles had fake palm tree cell towers when I was there. They're even worse.
