Turn This Guys Lighs On and Off! (http://www.komar.org) :smt005

LAFAYETTE, Colorado (AP) -- After festooning his house with 17,000 Christmas lights, Alex Komarnitsky wanted more than just drive-by gawkers to be able to enjoy the spectacle.

He got his holiday wish, and then some. His interactive Web site that allows Internet users to turn the lights on and off with the click of a mouse is attracting thousands.

"It's out of control," Komarnitsky said. Another Web site recently alerted users about his interactive page. "It said, 'This guy's Web site is funny. Turn the lights on and off and annoy the neighbors."'

This month alone, more than 1.3 million Internet browsers -- including about 38,000 from a German domain, more than 2,400 from a French domain and nearly 1,000 from a domain in Singapore -- have visited the site.

As of Monday evening, 31,483 people had tinkered with the lights
