Giz Service Announcement: Fireworks And Watermelon Don’t Mix

Hey, we here at Gizmodo, together with Nancy Nord of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, want to remind you to have a safe 4th of July. Don’t use illegal fireworks for anything dangerous. Like blowing up an M-1000 inside of a watermelon. In slow motion. Happy 4th weekend everybody. [CPSC]

    I used to love catching this demonstration, or one like it(it's not loading right now), on C-SPAN every year when I was a youth. They always did it in Washington D.C. w/one monument or another in the background. It was fun watching a dummy get blown up in a plywood constructed "kids room" w/curtains and some random poster.

    We should also warn our mannequin friends, who are extremely vulnerable to the lure of fireworks.
