It's banned because the kids like to kite fight. 99.9% use wire for string and place cutters on there kites to take down others kites. EVERY single time these kite fights happen some kids die, Hence the ban.

"A lawyer representing 90 kite manufacturers contends the ban would leave some 100,000 people jobless."

So, they are placing the lives of the kite fliers ahead of the livelihoods of the kite makers. How unCapitalistic of them.

Did it ever occur to the authorities to ban wire, & use plain old fashioned string? When you don't have a pot to piss in, it seems a shame to take away their great pleasure. I once got a kite up 3000 feet, oh wait, check that, it got caught on a stray dog's collar. Does that count?

Since it is Pakistan, I should think they would ban kite-flying unless the
kite is wearing a burqa and accompanied by a male relative.

So a bunch of ragheads darwinize themselves trying to fly kites?
That's fucking hilarious.

They probably banned it because they got tired of seeing their population as the stars of Kabul's funniest home executions.

I think we should start sending them kite building materials and let things sort themselves out.

And yet all those yo-yo deaths every year go unmentioned.

I'm still trying to bend my head around the concept of 'kite-related fatalities'.

Of course, I outsource all my kite-flying activities to unemployed Chinese farmers.

And finally: "Never bring a kite to a nuke fight".

How can ANYONE be stupid enough to kill/get killed for flying a kite?I hear a lot about respecting other cultures, but it's hard to do when the culture in question consists mainly of retards.

Next thing you know, they'll be branding homosexuals as sins against God, or saying Americans are vampiric blood suckers.

Wait... Never mind.

Pakistan is full of inbred rednecks? Why would someone stand on the roof to fly a kite? Of course, common sense is not so common, otherwise if you're on the roof, don't walk around, if you need to, watch for the edge.

I fuckin pissed myself when i read this story. What a bunch of fucked up morons they are. How the fuck did 19 people die during a kite flying festival? When they got to the 3rd or 4th death how come somebody in authority didnt scratch their head and think that maybe they should stop and take a break to work out some safety issues...........NAH!! FLY KITES! FLY KITES! FLY KITES!........yeh I know man but like fuckin 10 people are dead now, I mean come on..............NAH!! FLY KITE! FLY KITE!

And to think that they have nuclear weapons...fuckin terrifying. But most countries where the majority of wives sit in the back of the pickup dressed like a ninja, exposed to the elements while the dog rides in the front with the husband are the same. Earthquake relief?? yeh right.......just die fuckos you stinky cocked rat faced bastards.

I don't agree with the ban. The sooner these stupid people kill one another off (via tribal warfare, "kite fights," killing women, and encouraging martyrdom), the better.
