Mention of disfigurement 

So the BBC ran an article either earlier today or yesterday about warnings on fireworks and people campaigning for them. Great, I'm all for it, yadayadayada (personally I don't think fireworks should be sold at all but that's a different story) and the warning that the group wanted to have put on all fireworks boxes (this is in the UK) was basically just somebody's heavily disfigured hand? Which is not okay because holy fuck you can't just force that on people.
