We've Never Seen A Keener Window Cleaner

Fireworks! The brief week after Halloween in which ordinary people in Britain are encouraged to play with light ordnance is upon us again, and here's a PIF from the late 90s fallow age of fireworks PIFs. Of course, I'd've loved these to have been the norm every November when I was a kid and constantly traumatised by that shrieking sparkler girl and the injured auton and so on; but I remember those even now. There's very little danger of anyone remembering this even eleven minutes after seeing it, with its cuddly Alexei Sayle voiceover and cute rhyming couplet and vagueness over its actual message.

It's 'bonfire' night- not "fireworks" night.

[Applemask]

Well, technically it's "Guy Fawkes" night.

So I wonder what creepy 'ARRGHE HALP ME MY FINGERS HAV BEEN BLOWED OFF' adverts they're going to to show this year?

[Applemask]

Um, the one with the mildly injured teens, the sparklers one with the instructions taken literally, and Sam Spark the Private Detective. Same ones as the last five years or so.

Morrissey reference duly noticed.

'Allo John, got a new sparkler?'

[hotelmario510]

Pwned. Sorry. I had to.

[gnamp]

You're right.

[hotelmario510]

Yes...pity, really.

Dammit, beat me to it. =P
