What kind of marketing idiot thought this up?

Why does Lowe's think that selling an upside down Christmas Tree is a good idea? Bad enough they no longer call them Christmas Trees at Lowes, but what kind of a crazy insult is it to sell one that can be displayed upside down?

What's next? Upside down Menorahs?

Lowes is a wonderful home improvement store. I'm afraid, though, that they are tarnishing their image by making statements like this in their catalog! And if you think an upside down Christmas Tree is not a statement, well . . .

Beating up on Lowes for what is clearly an improvement if tree design? Sheesh! Beth, can't you see that this new orientation makes it much easier to dump the cat out of the tree?

We stopped shopping at Lowe's after they told us one thing over the phone and another after we got to the store. Now seeing this, I'm so glad we don't give them money anymore.
