Environmental Nightmare

This is a new thing that winds me up about these sorts of stupid fad festivals: waste. People buy strings of shit pound shop Halloween lanterns, plastic skulls and all manner of plastic hats, capes and false noses. Where do they go when we’ve finished with them? Either they go straight in the bin or in the loft. If they go in the loft they will be taken down the next year, inspected, and then thrown in the bin because they were only designed to be functional for about three hours.
All of this additional plastic waste just to chase off non-existent ghoulies? Give me a break people.
Also, pumpkin carving. That’s a waste of perfectly good food. I know in America they make pumpkin pie every so often, but in the UK we just lob it in the bin like the wasteful fat cunts we truly are. Eat it you twats.
Sure, it sometimes looks cool:

But just looking cool doesn’t make it OK.
In the olden days, Halloween in Scotland and Ireland would see the carving of turnips. That’s a little fact for you there. Turnip carving isn’t quite so bad because turnips are much smaller, so they take less room to grow and they taste like shit any way.
