Burning the Ninots

In a previous post, Is Batman from Valencia?, I mentioned the puppets or Ninots that are burnt in the festivity of Las Fallas in Valencia. Here is a preview of some of the Ninots that will burn this year.
I should point out that, except for the Ninots representing politicians and equally disliked individuals (I wonder why), the burning of the Ninots representing actual people has to be understood as a kind of homage.
