Let's Bathe Ourselves in Glass and Mercury


From Wikipedia
The disposal of phosphor and particularly the toxic mercury in the tubes is an environmental issue. Governmental regulations in many areas require special disposal of fluorescent lamps separate from general and household wastes. For large commercial or industrial users of fluorescent lights, recycling services are available in many nations, and may be required by regulation. In some areas, recycling is also available to consumers. The need for a recycling infrastructure is an issue with instituting proposed bans of incandescent bulbs.

Check out the stupidity at TYWKIWDBI: Fluorescent light bulb fights
The show (I won't grace it with the term "sport") apparently consists of men in a ring smashing each other with fluorescent light bulbs. According to the Reddit thread, it is probably an event in Japanese Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling.

That looks pretty par for FMAW. For extra credit, check youtube for "cactus jack japan". Those are bound to have razorwire, thumbtacks, and fireworks to go with the lightbulbs.
