Seems he was vaping while it was charging off truck battery....

Reports from the hospital were that Del had been using his e-cigarette while it was plugged into his truck, charging. E-cigarettets are small, pen-sized items that contain internal batteries that smokers can add nicotine-infused flavor “cartridges” to. Just like a cell phone, the batteries can be charged, and most e-cigarettes come with USB charger similar to that of a phone.

The instructions for most e-cigarettes that have chargers insist that you do not try to use them while charging, but like most men Del apparently skipped the directions and opted to just try and figure out how they worked using trial-and-error. Unfortunately for him, the warnings posted on the package for this product were extremely important.

A representative for Black, INC., the manufacturer of the e-cigarette Del had purchased, released a statement expressing their condolences.

So far I cannot find any Black INC manufacturer of ecigs.

This is a satire site. Note the other story about a kid getting suspended from school because of a gun shaped birth mark.

 

[DoogieTony]

Obviously fake. Look at the source.

 

[xtwosm0kesx]

Aren't satire sites supposed to be actually funny?

Guess not.

Guess not.

I was thinking the same thing. It will be interesting, however, to see if any MSM sites pick up on this story thinking it's true.

 

[DeviantDigi]

Umm... you guys are in denial if you don't believe in unicorns. People getting shocked to death from e-cigs or Leprechaun hybrid Sasquatches. They can mate, it's science. BEWARE!!!

 

[JerryRM]

It doesn't matter if it's fake or not. The ANTZ will use it to proclaim that E-cigs cause the electrocution death of those who use it.

yup
its some kind of rag joke magazine

found this little gem inside the cancer story:

The complete findings will be released in the next issue of The Journal Of Medical Things In Maine which is issued every two years by the University. Since the previous version came out just last month, it will be almost the full two years before the next issue.
Dr. Kingston, practically giddy, said “When our findings are made public it will change the world. And only 23 months to wait.”

Can't even find a company by that name. It's a shame the ANTZ will go this far to keep people from making the switch to ecigs. If this story is false as I believe then I'm totally disgusted by this article. SMH

 

[nanusic]

I knew it was fake when the line, true but not used to express news, "like most men.....that don't read directions" was used!!!

Sorry, you found a satire site.

 

[Painter_]

We must have high expectations of reporting done by the ANTZ that we are being drawn in my satire sites. Just goes to show how ridiculous some of their claims have become.

 

[Jman8]

I say we claim all the ANTZ articles satire and let interested politicians know that they were fake stories that have no basis in fact. We could add that the incessant calls to "for the children" were obvious indications that you, as an intelligent person, couldn't possibly think the stories were legitimate.
