AP - Wayne Watson loved microwave popcorn so much he would eat at least two bags each night, breathing in the steam from the just-opened package, until doctors told him it may have made him sick.

Nice pic Fatboy.

Just what we need. Another fucking "victim".

this has to be the most ridiculus thing I've heard since global warming.
This is nothing but lawyers inventing fake diseases in order to sue large companies for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Everytime I smell that shit I think there has got to be some rancid chemicals bubbling in it. Blah! You got to be a fool to eat it.

Bullshit, Fuckyou. Workers in the plants that produce that crap have contracted lung disease in amazing numbers. That's more than a kernel - it's a whole cob of truth.

Lee - bingo!

Corporate American way, let em die and sue because they'll only get 10 million over 20 years and we will make 100 million in that time.

And I got AIDS from a doorknob.

You are supposed to eat the popcorn, not smoke it...

Don't farmers do that, smoke corn silk or some such thing?

Jesus Christ, Noah. Thanks for the mental picture.

Damn I had best not stick my whole face in a buttery flavoured Popcorn bag to smell that rich goodness or else I will cuntract(Is that how it's spelt??) Lung Disease. My word I have heard it all now.

Larry

Oh what a dumbass I am the correct spelling is in the headline. What a goober.

Larry

Yup - just an imaginary lung disease:

Can I have that worker's "imaginary" $20M?

Noah expresses his disbelief that breathing copious amounts of diacetyl presents any real health risk by snarking up "And I got AIDS from a doorknob."

Well if that is the case, then the only way you contracted the dreaded disease, precious snowflake, was by putting your mouth on it after some nude gay Haitian intravenous drug user walked by, "slipped," and the "door knob" "inadvertently" wound up momentarily lodged in his rectal cavity.

You see...that's the only way you can get AIDS from a doorknob.

I don't know about a health risk but I forbit anyone from making that crap in my house. I cannot stand the stink. Can't be good for you.

Larry

That's what you get for having unsafe sex with a doornob.....
whassa matta-couldn't find a balloon to stretch across it?
Or-more likely-you're just spitballin'' this-'cause you actually got your infection from a piston out of a new Mini-Cooper...a PINK one-of course.

FF for Frank

.... "popcorn lung" .... ????


Dear God, help us.

Killer microwave popcorn? Does that mean THIS GUY'S going to die?

"And I got AIDS from a doorknob.

I'd suggest you quit licking doorknobs then. Stick to handrails and toilet seats, like you have in the past.

Well if that is the case, then the only way you contracted the dreaded disease, precious snowflake, was by putting your mouth on it after some nude gay Haitian intravenous drug user walked by, "slipped," and the "door knob" "inadvertently" wound up momentarily lodged in his rectal cavity.

What the "family values" GOP does with their Saturday nights should really stay private.

How did you know?

He's already dead, Chris. Died of choking, not from diethylnol or whatever the fuck it was in the popcorn steam.

That may be true but he didn't have to stick his head into a bag of it many times a day and breathe in deeply. How is that different than sniffing glue? The guy should be up for the Darwin award. The average IQ in this country must be getting close to 70.

Seeing how much popcorn stinks to high heaven common sense tells you that eating it might be a bad idea. Artificially heating it in a bag that has been treated with God knows what and then eating it sounds like an even worse idea. Doing it to excess is asking for trouble and then suing the producers for "making" you eat it is wrong.

But there has been example after example of companies producing products they know to be harmful, disguising or outright lying about it and still putting them on the market on a cost benefit analysis basis. Tobacco is the example everybody knows about but there are plenty of others, like cell phones which have all the potential to be a public health disaster waiting to happen. There's no option then but to sue them for everything they are worth and disrupt their cost benefit analysis models so they don't do it again. Or at least to try.

The rightnuts look at example one, go ballistic and want to stop it. Problem is that example two gets stopped too. Leftnuts, vice versa.

Common sense would be the best answer to this difficult question but that's the last thing that will be tried. So on the basis that when rogue corporations act selfishly, can harm so many people by doing so and show no sign of stopping or being stopped by their peers, then sue them for everything they are worth. If that means that irresponsible fools like this guy get their day in court AND juries are so stupid as to let him get away with it then we just have to use our own cost benefit analysis and conclude that it's still worth it.

So there is artificial heat and then real heat huh?? Whats real heat?? is that where You stick a microsized bag of popcorn under Your arms and wait for the heat to pop the popcorn?? Is that what Real heat is??

Larry

like cell phones which have all the potential to be a public health disaster waiting to happen.

artificial heat, and cell phones. hmmm.

hey, you wanna buy a bridge? i have the perfect one for you, cheap.

lar and han, if that is all you have to say about a person's post, you might as well slither back in your holes and keep quiet. You can't say anything about his post, just pick on a misused word.

I would slither into that hole Sniper but You are already there. I'd really hate to be accused of murder with a deadly Waste Managment Depository.

Larry

actually, it's true. not much can be said about his post. i apologize...we shouldn't encourage him.
