When jokes backfire

This is causing quite a stir in the net, electricians laugh at it for what it is, however, there is also a good number of people up in arms stating it will cause serious injury or death.
Do we need disclaimers on comedy now?

Ah, thanks Taz. Now I understand; electricity is in fact smoke in a tube! Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I rest my case. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

Bit close to home.
I've seen that before; I worked for Lucas for 37 years and we had a good laugh at the Harness smoke.
Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

2014 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Loire Blue

Does anyone know if cordite fuses are still in use? Back in the 60's I was doing a student job and there was a big DC power supply unit for an electroplating bath. One day there was an almighty bang and the lights went out. It seems that a cordite fuse had gone off. The idea being that the explosion stops any arching when heavy DC currents are broken. Place full of smoke and a bit scary if you didn't know about these things. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
