Topsy Turvy should be renamed the SCAM-WOW

Ok - So I allowed Bill to talk me into buying the Topsy Turvy, and drilling a hole into the deck to hang it. I also got suckered into putting the thing together and filling it with the plant and dirt. I'm now also having to water the thing this week while he's out of town. I had my reservations about the thing even before tonight, given that the design expects to hold 30 lbs of beautiful tomatoes with a 2" piece of foam in the center opening - Ha!
My absolute breaking point (pun is intended, read on) was when the plant did in fact start growing, but UPWARD toward the sun (duh) rather than toward the ground like in every advertisement I'd seen to date. Then finally, the poor plant's backbone had enough. The base of the plant growing toward the sky became too heavy, twisted and snapped. It was growing full yesterday night, and by tonight was one big nasty plant of wilt.
The bright side is that the second shoot of the plant, still growing upward, has 3 tomatoes growing. I'm sure any bigger and that little branch will break off as well.
It really is topsy heavy, turvy curvy down. The scam-wow (play off sham-wow, the other obnoxious infomercial) is the perfect name for this ridiculous product.
