Now why couldn't our fake trees serve a purpose?

I hate those gosh darned fake tree.. uglying up the down town..  I mean real trees, atleast serve a purpose.. so why shouldn't the fake ones??

well the fake trees in Vienna sure have a neat feature to them..they atleast have solar panels on them and glow.. and they aren't nearly as ugly (which I suppose is debatable..), but they glow, ours are still just ugly!

now don't get me wrong.. real trees are still the best of the fake tree/real tree debate... but well.. check it out..
