Sometimes the human race surprises me in pure stupidity and the tabloids just proving the human stupidity by publishing the articles. Tuesday February 25th the Swedish tabloid GT published on their website an article on how a woman torched her kitchen with tea lights and that she placed too many of them on a tray so the wax overheated and became a joined flame from the overheated wax. “We tried to blow out the candles but it just burned more so I poured cold water on them,” the woman said to the newspaper. The result from the water was more destructive and ended up with a bolt of flames.

The woman had bought the tea lights from IKEA and the tabloid contacted IKEA and they got the reply back from their press department that the woman put the tea lights to close to each other and that can cause the wax to overheat and flame to join. I have the same set of tea lights, and the same tray at home. When I filled it up to see how many she managed to get on the tray I managed to fill it up with 36 tea lights; no wonder the wax got overheated.

IKEA Illustrations Tea lights is just not named to be a cute name but for the purpose to keep the tea in pot warm while sipping on your delightful cup of tea. The tea light packaging from IKEA has 12 small instructive illustrations telling you not to place them to close to each other is not unnoticeable.

I ended up closing the page and could just come up with one word, Idiot. The world is full of them and it is the newspapers that makes believe that they are right and they continue to be idiots. Where is the common sense and did it disappear by the year 2000? The idiots are everywhere and they seem to multiply exponentially and media continuing to support these wandering chromosomal errors.

Human race is on a crash course to become the idiot race. Where is the humanity!
