    In reply to 1.5 Million Durabrand DVD Players Recalled By Wal-Mart: Fire Hazard
    While Walmart should not sell DVD players that catch fire spontaneously, 12 per 1.5 million is a very small number. For comparison, you would be about 14 times more likely to commit suicide than to have one of these DVD players that you bought catch fire. You would be 24 times more likely to die in a car accident, and about 10000 times more likely to have had sexual interactions with animals.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: What if the animals was either:
    a: asking for it, or
    b: came on to you

    Would that alter the statistics any?

    Well there's your problem. This is supposed to be a DVD burner, not a player.

    Based on the dialogue in the first two frames, and then he says "look," I was expecting something different in the third, and confused when it had eyes.

    I think given the suffering certain Gizmodo commentors have suffered due to laptops which practice S&M, we shouldn't make fun of this. At least not for another 30 seconds.


    OK, time's up.
