Psycho

If you didn't have enough proof that corporations fit every description of  "psychopath", here's the latest:

Energizer Holdingsthe consumer goods conglomerate that produces Banana Boat products, announced Friday that certain of the brand's sunscreen sprays may potentially burst into flames on users' skin if they come in contact with a flame or spark before the spray is completely dry.
Energizer said it has received reports of four "adverse events" in which the sprays have caused burns in the U.S., and one in Canada."Adverse events"??? How else would you categorize someone responsible for causing a human being to suddenly and without warning burst into flames and calling it an "adverse event", if not a psychopath?

"Mr. Browne, this is County Hospital calling. I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your 16 year old daughter was sunbathing and she had a um, 'adverse event'."

"Dang--that girl seems to be allergic to just about everything. How bad is it?"

"Well, let's just say that if she wanted to be cremated, she saved you a little cash."

Full Story.

House fire causes $100,000 in damage

July 27, 2008 Elisabeth Johns

Firefighters battled a blaze that caused $100,000 in damage to a Brantford home Saturday afternoon.

The fire broke out in a bedroom of a two-storey family home on Dorchester Avenue around 3:30 p.m.

When firefighters arrived on the scene, flames could be seen coming out the window of the room at the back of the house.

Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the bedroom and extinguish the blaze within eight minutes.

There were no injuries since no one was home at the time. A cat was found in the residence.
