Mobile phones are pretty bad, but have you seen the advert for National Lottery scratchcards? Blimey.

Still think my lightsaber spoon is up there with the best of the worst.

Not found one in the UK yet though, so they might be only in India.


Hm...perhaps Ebay is in order...

That was my first thought too. Those toy plastic ones are crap anyway, some science-geek who's a Star Wars fan (probably plenty of them) should have built something by now.

And yeh Pandaemonium, there was sarcasm in my words :)

Ahahahha. Then I'd have some respect for them. "Play with fire, you're gonna get burned...."

Wasn't the bloke 20? I say raise the voting, drinking, driving, and reproduction age to 50.

EDIT: The BBC News ticker headline is superb:

"Two Star Wars fans critical after home-made light sabres explode"

Makes it sounds like they were dabbling in some kind of physics experiment, instead of making petrol bombs.

I don't see how two brain donors filling light tubes up with petrol and setting them alight is a "tragedy" [edit] (sorry, I know you're not being serious, but these idiots have stunned me with their stupidity. Possibly just as much as the 3 sqealing chav mothers.)

Petrol is extremely flammable, light tubes are very fragile. Surely anyone with a couple of brain cells knows this? If they survive, they're going to be scarred for the rest of their lives.

"So how did you manage that?"



"Jesus, are you dumb?"

If only merchandising was better, a tragedy might have been averted..

I once made a Christmas card for my girlfriend with a picture of Gollum on the front, and the caption "Merry Christmas, my precioussss".

Those little action figures. Lucas is making a mint on the impressionable youngsters collectables market. There was nothing like that when I was a...... Oh....

I think the tagline or whatever was 'Your birthday, it is' with Yoda on the front.

I wept.
