There's a problem with Brighton's Christmas lights.

The funny footage was posted by satirical site The Poke, with the title "There's a problem with Brighton's Christmas lights". They claim it's the work of a fed-up electrician who installed the lights in Churchill Square and Western Road. However, it it more likely that the video is a clever spoof using special effects to give everyone an extra helping of festive cheer. Councillor Jason Kitcat, leader of Brighton & Hove City Council, said that the lights were paid for and put up by local traders through the Business Improvement District 'Brilliant Brighton'. He added: "The video is a creative spoof, but it is making people smile and getting thousands of people talking about Brighton & Hove in the run up to Christmas. That has got to be good news for the city and good news for its traders." Fuck the hypocrisy of Christmas!
