Super Extreme Awesome Radical Kiting Festival

Pakistan may not be good at many things, but they sure as FUCK know how to kite. Their annual Basant Festival (it should really be called the Super Extreme Awesome Radical Kiting Festival) took place recently. Pakistanis are so extreme in their kiting, that people die during this festival. EVERY YEAR. I think of kiting as that innocent boy in the picture, just watching some nylon float in the wind. In Pakistan? That is for pussies.

Most years there are around a dozen fatalities and this year was no exception. Police said celebratory aerial firing claimed several casualties while a seven-year-old child died when his neck was severed by a banned glass-coated nylon kite string.

"La di da di da.... Just riding my bike. Biking is sooo fun! La di da di---- AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! THAT ILLEGAL GLASS COATED NYLON KITE STRING JUST SEVERED MY NECK!!!!! PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!"

Six people were killed when they fell from rooftops, two others were electrocuted while attempting to collect kites from power lines and another died in a brawl.

Holy guacamole, Batman. That is one crazy ass festival. They fucking love their kiting. Fighting to the death over a kite? Climbing up live to live power lines? Kids getting their heads chopped off? Fucking fuck.
"Oh, man, that sucks! Your kite got stuck in those power lines!"
"That's no big deal, I will just climb up there and grab it! What's the worst that could happen?"

Last year the Supreme Court banned all kite-flying in Pakistan but a public outcry -- and perhaps the knowledge that military ruler is a big Basant fan -- saw the ban lifted for this year's festival.

You can't stop them from their kiting Mr. Supreme Court jerk! They love to kite, and they don't care how many people die!! EVERY YEAR. I guess you just can't stop the Super Extreme Awesome Radical Kiting Festival. It is simply too awesome. And extreme. Pretty radical too.
