CNET:
The “CPSC Fireworks Safety Demonstration 2017” kicks off in mild fashion with a message from acting chairman Ann Marie Buerkle warning consumers to leave professional-level fireworks to the professionals. It then quickly devolves (or elevates) into a series of vignettes featuring mannequins suffering grave injuries from sparklers and flying fireworks.
What starts off as a perfectly normal safety video turns kinda weird quickly.
Here’s the direct YouTube link for those of us who want to avoid the CNET black hole of autoplaying ads… https://youtu.be/vC88Eb5lApA
I love how the increasing watermelon and mannequin violence is offset by nonchalant elevator music. Rather reminiscent of a young Igmar Bergman or perhaps Truffaut.
