    Default Neighbors... sheesh...

    I'm afraid I'd have to kill if my neighbors did THIS with their Christmas lights. Someone has WAY too much time & money on their hands.

    I hope their neighbors don't have epileptic fits.

    I like it...More power to them...I've been putting up Christmas lights since I was old enough to climb up a ladder and not fall off. Come on Raymond have a little Christmas Spirit...Your neighbors don't care what you waste your time and money on.

    Yeah... I'm going to have to side with Bean on this one. The Geek factor for that one is off the scale and I have to appreciate the effort.

    Wow.... just wow....

    I love it wonder how they did it!

    There are probably 5 or 6 747's circling that neighborhood every night.

    That was pretty damn cool if you ask me. I could see how it would get old as a neighbor though.

    Can you imagine the traffic once this gets noticed? I could watch that all night long. Wonder if they have any other music?

    It uses a controller that utilizes 88 different things at a time... Supposedly controlled by a computer.

    There is another video that uses well over 250,000 lights, I think this clip is about 165,000 or so...

    Here's the 250,000+ light show

    Bring this one back from the dead, have you guys seen this same video on TV as a miller lite commercial? It is just the last few seconds, but still pretty cool on TV.

    Yes I've seen it, very cool. A friend of mine told me the guy was forced to shut it down by his local police. Causing too many accidents and traffic jams around his house.
