Queston 1422

On 5 November 2011, at the annual fireworks display at Edenbridge, Kent, a 12 metre tall bonfire effigy shown in the image was unveiled. To what event was it a direct reference to?


Answer: This is an effigy of Mario Balotelli. Balotelli and his friends set Balotelli's house on fire when a firework was let off in it, and later that week Balotelli was unveiled as Greater Manchester's ambassador for firework safety. The next day, he celebrated his goal by unveiling a shirt with the words: "Why always me?" on it.

    Mario balotelli flaunted a vest with the words 'why always me' after scoring against man u(re)
    The firework connection is that some friends had set off fireworks in his apartment, an act which cemented balotelli's maverick persona...

    Marion Balotelli's house nearly burnt down after a friend set off some fireworks in his bathroom.
    And thus the effigy...
