For those of you who don't think that firework labels are art, you need to check out this site. Just in time for the 4th it's got pictures of tons of labels spanning decades. My favorite is the flying King Kong. I guess firework manufacturers think that a giant rampaging gorilla isn't terrifying enough by itself and therefore should fly too. And if that isn't enough to get you interested, be sure to check out page 2 where King Kong managed to turn the Empire State Building into a rocket and fly over the Statue of Liberty. If that doesn't say freedom, I don't know what does. It's just a shame that most of this art was blown up.
And who would have guessed that Geo'gia Cracker would be a reference to explosives, not a southern hillbilly? Perhaps there is a double entendre inferred there. And really, who hasn't thought it would be fun to blow up a red neck? It will make sense when you see it.
I'm done. With that my commentary comes to a merciful conclusion. Check out the link and have a happy 4th.
