Light it up (Friday WTF)

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following WTF is dedicated to my brother-in-law and his family, who are masters of the fireworks display.

Two of our last three posts involved the Fourth of July and MacGyver/MacGruber getting blowed up, so I suppose this WTF video could be considered the conclusion of a weird and accidental trilogy.

The following is a is an astoundingly unsuccessful warning about the dangers of fireworks, produced by the good people of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ABOVE: My favorite part is the scene beginning at 1:28. Poor guy.

It's amazing how their tiny, crappy firework display (especially when watched from a ridiculous distance) pales next to the unintentionally awesome carnage that precedes it. Next year the Frau and I are getting some M-1000s and some surplus mannequins, and we're going to do the Fourth up right. Thanks CPSC!

PS - It is truly terrifying what floats to the surface when you go to Youtube and search for fireworks. For example...
