It was a dark and stormy night. People all across the nation were huddling around their TV screens to celebrate the original Brexit with a beautiful firework display. They turned their channels to PBS and soon enough things were exploding- are we’re not talking about the fireworks.

People are freaking out that PBS used footage from last year’s firework show that revealed a clear night sky instead of the dominant fog, looming clouds and damp atmosphere that was apparent on the night of the 4th.

PBS released a statement saying it was the “patriotic thing to do,” but Washingtonians everywhere- many of whom had been waiting out the rain and constantly checking the forecast- noticed the discrepancy in PBS’s live stream and took to twitter to call the annual A Capitol Fourth show a fraud.

We’re too hungover tired from our 4th of July festivities to make an informed decision on whether or not it was “patriotic” for PBS to show last years footage, so take to our Facebook and Twitter pages to share your thoughts on the matter. After all, where there’s smoke there’s usually fire– or in this case there’s fireworks.
