A couple years ago when the country was HORRIFIED (rightly so), by the deaths of the children and others caused by the drunk lady driving the wrong way in NY no one suspended the sale of vodka. No one suggested banning vodka, No one suggested vodka should only be sold in smaller bottles....

This is epic stupid...

If we can save the life of even ONE child ..........

 

[ericahls]

Publicity stunt. Plain and simple.

If we can save the life of even ONE child just ONE brisket ..........

Yeah... it's that moronic.

“What’s next, a self-imposed ban on the sale of backwards baseball caps?” Reason’s understandably irritated Mike Riggs asks.

Like this.

Oh, and FTR... I went ahead and bought an electronic pressure cooker over the weekend. It's GOT to be more dangerous, right?!?!

Doesn't bother me. It's the whole "we're already off the cliff, we just don't know where we're going to land" concept. Stories like this just tell me we're really close to landing.

Saw it on the news last night, cracked up
So are we boycotting Williams-Sonoma?

Owner is probably a feel good Kumbaya lib. Stupid thing is that pressure cookers are inherently dangerous to start with. Get one with a bad relief valve and you won't need any gunpowder.

If you have money to waste by shopping at Williams Sonoma, that's up to you. It's a nice place to look around, but I never buy anything there. $$$$$$$

 

[Mr H]

Can't.

Never wanted to shop there!!!

Pretty sure this is a joke. They are still selling on the web site.

Think its worth a class action suit? . We try a mass buy of pressure cookers?

No now I am sure its a Joke. But if this goes on for a few months we may need to give it a try


Please note THIS IS A JOKE. .

Quick someone needs to write up legislation banning pressure cookers! THEY'RE A THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC! It's insane that such a "weapon" can be bought by anyone who just walks into the store. We should have background checks and ridiculous waiting periods for such items! We wouldn't want common criminals to get their hands on such weapons now would we? :Rolls eyes:

You know what is even sadder? I'll bet if I went on the internet today and ordered 2 pressure cookers, I would end up on someone's "watch list".

I just might make myself a tin-foil hat, just in case.
