It's just for slowing down while driving, but it's super weird.

"This would never fly in the United States."--Morgen, regarding the flaming madness
Yesterday was the Entierro de la Sardina (Sardine burial) where they carry a giant paper mache sardine through the city to a plaza, then light it on fire with complete disregard to safety.
I filmed the entire "on fire" part, and it was quite entertaining.
They lit up sparklers and those screaming emergency flares, then lit the sardine on fire with them (of course, after they completely covered it in kerosene). The sparks were flying everywhere, on the crowd and the drag queens (there were lots of them there, I don't know why). There were also lots of people dressed in black, as if it were a mock funeral.
Enjoy this interesting spectacle, courtesy of my video (I made it low quality so it was faster to upload...pardon the blur):
