Wearing those lady jeans two sizes too small not such a bright idea after all, was it?

Lol. C'mon. Let's criticise one or the other.
His Fashion sense or his battery safety skills.

I like them jeans but I'm too short so I'm going for this look:

Yeah, mere "inches" away!

I just saw another incident on Fox News. Some guy on a bus and it goes off in his pocket. They said he put it there when the bus driver told him to "put it away - no smoking on the bus."

Got a good laugh out of that one. Can't believe he didn't lock it first.
:facepalm:

no... but ducttape silences them!

it is a nice change to see that it was clearly blamed on user error and seeing a little promo for safety, without it being instant "OMGZ! VAPING IZ EVULZ!"

I agree I was a bit shocked they pointed out the issue rather than making vaping out to be the devil. It's ridiculous how uninformed most of these reports are. I was point out to do a little research and then use some common sense and you will be safe

I don't follow many of these stories, only the ones I see on here.

A difference seems to be that this is UK reporting from Sky television and W.Yorkshire fire service.

The thing I have noticed is that the U.S media seems to misrepresent vaping whereas it seems that the UK media is less bothered about political agenda in regards to vaping.

Feel free to correct me. :thumb:

Thats true.
Since the 2013 gutting of the Smith-Mundt act, and the 2016 dismissal of the Broadcasting Board of Governers, you have to take the "US Mainstream Media" with a shovel of salt.
