God, I fucking hate people.
“The need for this ban comes from a case in Western Australia where a mother reported that her 16 year old son had been able to purchase a ‘fire footbag’ from a retail outlet in WA and then burnt his hands while attempting to use the product.
Fuck stupid people and their lack of common sense. Fire footbags aren't the problem, the kid was a fucking idiot, and deserved more than a burn. Instead of banning them from people under 18, or making it so there must be a source of water or a fire extinguisher near the bag to put out potential fires, they just decide to ban them permanently and without hesitation. I just don't understand how people think more laws and rules and regulations are going to keep people from acting like fucking idiots all the time.
“Prior to this ban, it was possible for members of the general public to purchase ‘fire footbags’ – a product that when used as intended, becomes a flaming missile.
Really? Why don't they ban kitchen knives? When they're used as intended, they become murder weapons! Why not ban stovetops? I burned my hand on one of those before, and I want some fucking lawsuit money. Why not ban cars? Pointy objects? Small objects? Breakable objects? Why not just coat the world in fucking bubblewrap? Would lawmakers be happy then?

... i once burnt my beard off in front of a crowd of people when the bag got lodged in my colar bone ditch
