How Not to Launch Fireworks
What could be dumber than putting moonbats in charge of Congress when the country is at war? The only thing I can think of is this:
A spokesman for the North East ambulance service said: "We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding."
He is now recovering in a Sunderland hospital after sustaining internal injuries including a scorched colon.
The incident took place on Guy Fawkes day, when the British commemorate a 17th century plot to blow up Parliament with bonfires and fireworks. The whole thing is on film:
Footage of the incident in Sunderland, north-east England, was captured on a mobile phone by a gang of youths and shows a white flash followed by hysterical laughter and a youth shouting: "Ha ha ha ha," followed by an expletive.
What a shame it's too late to include this footage in V for Vendetta.
On a tip from Wiggins.

Gives new meaning to "blow it out your ass."

Funny thing, the author of the original V for Vendetta graphic novel (which I have here at home - and it's not a very good read) is an ardent anarchist, quite probably a moonbat, and even he's pissed off at the way the film was used as a blunt instrument to bash bush. According to him the wachowskis took a finely crafted work about what is essentially a nihilistic personal vendetta against a totalitarian government and turned it in to the afforementioned blunt instrument, slicing out just about all of the philosophy of the original and turning the protagonist in to a "hero", which he definitely wasn't in the original. Or, at least, not the sort of hero he is in the film; rather, the sort of "hero" who's only a hero in his own head.
Anyway, he was pissed off. He seems to regret licensing it to them now.
