WARNING - DVD Fire Hazzard

WARNING - DVD Fire Hazzard

Recently a friend of mine accidentally placed a DVD in a portable CD
player. Within seconds, smoke began billowing out of the CD player,
then it burst into flames. He quickly grabbed the player and tossed it
out an open window, but his clothing caught on fire, which then caught
the window curtains. He sufferred 3rd degree burns to his arms, face,
and upper torso. His home was completely destroyed. Fire officials
said it was the DVD improperly placed in the CD player that caused the
fire.

A word of caution, NEVER put a DVD in a CD player.

That's a first I've heard of this. The only way a fire could start
within CD player is if your friend was smoking something.

I suspect his friend wasn't the only one.

Gosh, a completely implausible story from someone who's never posted to
Usenet before. Do ya think it could be phoney?

What mechanism is supposed to have come into play that's any different
from any other "unrecognized disc" error? You might as well say that if
you put a CD upside down into a player it will catch fire. Like anyone
would believe that would happen.

These hoaxes are like computer viruses by people too stupid to write code.
I wonder how many email lists this one will end up on.

Troll.

Mr. Mike

Damn, that's awful. It's too bad you both didn't die in the fire, because
you're both obviously too stupid to live.

Just for safety's sake, it's probably best not to have them in the
same room.

Sheesh -- couldn't you come up with a better spoof?

You're an idiot troll, David.

Drive your car to an open field, pour a gallon of gas all around the
interior of the car. Get in and light a cigar and place a DVD in your
ghetto blaster. See which one ignites the car.
