    Regardless of what you would like to believe is the motivation behind this "christmas light idiot"s apparent madness, they have been doing this for 20 years, they are visited by thousands of kids a year, and spend thousands of dollars on toys and candy a year to give out to kids who come to see the lights. And he doesnt charge anyone a dime to come by and see it. This is more then a light show, it has become a long island tradition. Oh and I didnt mention they also donate tons of money to children's hospitals on top of that. You may say its ugly, a waste of money, etc, but when is the last time you did anything that made thousands of kids smile every year out of your own pocket and expected nothing whatsoever in return.

    Damn he's talented. And by talented I mean, he can drive to the Walmart and buy any sort of Christmas decoration that lights up without regard to aesthetics, put those said items all over his lawn and house again without any regard to aesthetics or purpose, then connect enough extension cords to plug the whole monstrosity in and flip a switch. That kinda talent.

    @chuuchdizzle: No, like many americans, their religion is debt. If their religion was capitalism, they would have figured out how to make a profit on this, or had not done it at all in the first place.

    @reynwrap582: Clearly you havent read the Chronicles of John Thain.

    But apart from that, yes, they would have figured out a way to make money out of it, and rip off customers.

    Well that's certainly annoying but at least it's better than the adult dbag who pimp-slapped his grandparents for giving him a Wii..

    @halozcalling: I don't think any part of the video is real.


    The child is an animatronic puppet. The parents are actually human-sized cockroaches capable of mimicking the general appearance of a human. The house is a soundstage at Silvercup Studios in Queens. And the Wii is an empty box filled with bricks.

    "Wii Are Not Alone"
    Written and Directed by
    M. Night Shyamalan


    SCENE: The suburbs of Philadelphia. Snow. Christmas. A family get-together. 30 years ago, a young boy "Sam" (M. NIGHT) receives a Wii console. It becomes the focus of his existence. But far away, they were watching. Waiting. Ready to invade his soul, and his nunchuks.
