An Electrifying Christmas

Note: Already stale, so I better post this before Labour day, :P.

Just a filler post. Something that I noticed on my last trip to Singapore. Every lighted, ornamental christmas tree I've seen in the city state carries the sign, "Danger! High Voltage". For the interest of public safety? Some clause for public liability insurance? It's just plain weird. If it's a giant tree and you just can't help but fiddle with the lampu lip-lap, you better be expecting a Christmas present. Since kids can't read the sign anyway and if one decides do suck on an electronic ornament, who's to blame? Cordone off the trees? Or look after your bratty kids? Common sense, people. Something akin to the the whole Zoo Negara fiasco?

Well, I guess the warning sign is better than none, right? You do what you can that's reasonable and practical and that's it.

Huh? What Zoo Negar fiasco?

In the interest of public safety, I think you should wear a warning sign: "Danger! This boy is really cute. Looking at him may lead to dizziness, shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, and other bodily changes."

Or am I just being silly?
