Bloody hell, this is a barrel scraper:

They had Spongebob turning on the Christmas lights but he couldn't fit up the stairs so he stayed at ground level. Fair enough, except the Mail wade in with "Hundreds of children were left in tears", "Wolverhampton City Council forked out £2,000 on hiring the SpongeBob Squarepants costume", "furious parents blasted the ruling", "inconsolable childredn", "Star of Coronation Street and Loose Women, Sherrie Hewson, was forced to turn the lights on by herself". Fucking hell, get a grip. This wasn't even health and safety going mad, he just couldn't fit up a staircase!
