#2 Klingons to protest this weekend. This kind of joke could escalate into violence.

#3 If you are going to launch bottle rockets from your ass, you really should stick a bottle up there first to act as a launch tube.

#8 Flying monkeys? where are the flying monkeys? i thought they came with the bottle rocket as part of the kit??? (maybe they are still in there looking for a way out? or their car keys, to paraphrase an old joke)

#9 Bottle rocket? I don't think so. Probably more like a ~~Roman~~ Greek Candle.

#12 If someone can figure out how to capture and post this (link requires free registration otherwise), here's an even better one of a teenaged fool doing the same here in the good ol' USA.

This kid probably didn't need a colostomy bag afterwards, but I'm sure he got some nice scrotal scars!

#14 That was no bottle rocket. That's what we call a skyrocket were I come from. They're only about 100x more powerful than a standard bottle rocket. And it's hard to tell from the video, but it looked to me like the idiot had the thing in his ass backward. It might have been less damaging to shoot it OUT of his ass and not INTO his ass!!!!
