Hey I think that even my toddler with his face covered in chocolate and meatballs is art… Yes you are quite right they are all art – to clarify what I meant was they are all great art (each one different in their own way as in some weird, some funny, some *apparently* dangerous).

I am so desensitized in most aspects of life – I am sure that the politically correct people have got a hit out in my name. But on this website I have enjoyed the non-worry factor for the whole family to see.

And how did you know my nickname was batman??? My wife usually calls me that when I am being politically incorrect in an inappropriate way (usually in public too).

I hope you were not implying that art expressing nudity is not worthy art! :) I thought it was tastefully done and truthfully I didn’t notice she was nude until I read the complaint about the nudity….

Holy desensitization Batman!

But come on people – modern, well made (as opposed to very cheap and nasty imports) basic tree lights are really not dangerous if used correctly. If you are going to put your lights near children – tell them of the dangers and make them listen to you (what – your children don’t listen to you? your problem not mine, you sort them out…). They are just as dangerous to the kids on the tree as they are wrapped around them as they can still reach them and bite through the cable if they so will.

So do these things by all means, but be the responsible adult, tell the children what not to do, make sure your electricty supply in the house is not dangerous. Use new safe lights. These done together will be safer than walking accross the street in most towns.

As for the single nude shot – I do think that this post could have done without it, as it has certainly put some people off these posts by the looks of things (let other sites do this sort of thing – let make DPS safe in terms of nudity, but dangerous in terms of wrapping ourselves in electrical cables and throwing the switch). Well done for the disclaimer though. Maybe next time just that one should have been left out – the others are all worthy art in their own way. Nice pics to all the peoples behind the glass.

When you mix electricity and people it can be very dangerous. (Dare I say) maybe these accidents are therefore less surprising and less ‘accidental’ than you suggest.

I’m simply saying not to be complacent but careful. That is all. Common sense?

@ms. jones, “Christmas light accidents”? What is a Christmas light accident? That doesn’t say the lights are dangerous. It says that accidents happen and that people should make informed, prudent decisions, but the thing about accidents is that, generally, there’s no way to avoid them. They have a crazy way of sneaking up in the prepared and inundating those who dive in head first.

Which bring me back to my main point. Thanks for sharing these photos, which are evidence that there are still some people out there with the ability to think and a desire to be creative.

Over 6 Australians die each year from Christmas light accidents.

Be careful folks!
