So I'm playing poker while purusing 2+2 and keeping half an eye turned on to my local news station.

Suddenly I hear in the background, "A homemade recipe you can use to make your kids halloween costume flame resistant." I barely noticed these words as they came out of the TV set, yet just enough to try to comprehend this.

I hit rewind on my DVR to make sure I just heard what I thought I heard. Yep, that's it. Why on God's green earth would anybody do this? I wasn't aware that spontaneous combustion was a leading killer of tricker treaters.

I've heard of people putting razors in apples, drugs in candy, and hell, even pedophiles are on the rise. But, for the love of all that's holy, how many kids are getting torched on halloween???

Isn't this going way overboard on safety?

Anyway, if you have any interesting stories of why your local news sucks more than mine, I'd love to hear em.
