Crazy Xmas advergame

Blockdot has released a new holiday game called, “Attack of the Mutant Artificial Trees”. The game is a 'point and shoot' style game in which mutated artificial trees burst out of their boxes with sounds like "bah humbug" and eerie monster groans in their effort to take away your Christmas spirit.
The National Christmas Tree Association sponsored the game and is using it to educate players on the positive points of having a real Christmas tree this year. The advergame also presents the opportunity for kids ages 6-16 to win a $5,000-$10,000 scholarship or a trip for four to two exciting destinations.

The game is nice, but I believe the funniest thing about this news is the fact that a "Christmas Tree Association" exists... Strange things happen in the US...
