Why Mannequins Shouldn’t Use Fireworks [VIDEO]

This video from the Consumer Product Safety Commission demonstrates exactly how not to use fireworks.

Now, if you're using fireworks this Independence Day weekend--I mean, if you happen to be in a situation wherein you are legally permitted to do so, as we here at WRRV dot com, ahem, encourage and stand behind laws that protect you from explosions and also yourself--here's a perfect example of what not to do.

And if you're not, well, this is a fun video anyway. I mean, what's better than creepy department store mannequins being blown to smithereens?

Nothing. Nothing at all is better than creepy department store mannequins being blown to smithereens.

Have we ever established what a smithereen is? We've all just agreed as a society that they are very small items that you do not want to be blown into? Okay, just making sure. Happy Fourth!
