I sincerely doubt if that was the intention, and certainly the AFA might want to revisit the idea of marketing it.

My guess as to why they used to burn crosses is the same reason they hid themselves in bedsheets: They were closeted cross dressers. Too bad they couldn't have worn something pink and frilly underneath instead.

Once they had the prototype cross in mock up before production, it would have been hard to not notice the similarity between that "Christmas Decoration" and the Klan symbol. Wonder if some will put them on their front porch for other holidays as well?
