Consumerist reports:

[Dozens of] owners of Samsung top-loading washing machines say their appliances exploded while in normal use.

[...] The Consumer Product Safety Commission confirmed it is working with Samsung to address safety issues related to the top-loading washing machines after receiving dozens of reports that the appliances have exploded while in use.

[...] Owners of the machines, sold between March 2011 and April 2016, are advised to only use the delicate cycle when washing bedding, water-resistant, and bulky items. The lower spin speed of the delicate cycle lessens the risk of impact injuries or property damage due to the washing machine becoming dislodged

A Georgia woman [said] that on April 8, she and her four-year-old son were standing next to the machine when it exploded. "It was the loudest sound. It sounded like a bomb went off in my ear", the woman said, recalling that nuts, bolts, and wires were laying on the floor.

[...] Several consumers have banded together to sue Samsung in federal court, claiming that a support rod in the appliance is insufficient to hold the tub in place and can become unfastened during the spin cycle.

    When the first gay nigger walks onto the screen, you know you're in for a real treat. It is almost to impossible articulate, in words, the sheer, visionary brilliance of this film.

    Julien Garneau-Proulx gives the performance of his life as the janitor's son. Although he spends most of his time cleaning his father's bath house, and he dies rather early at the hands of the Super Gay Nigger, he leaves an unforgettable impression on the audience.

    The music is amazing as well. "Gay Niggers Eat Pigs and Fly on Penises Made of Ham and Brown Ham, Because They're Gay Niggers" is an oscar-worthy song. This song plays during the scene when Gay Nigger Jim rapes a toilet and explodes, and unless you're souless, it will make you cry.

    The stuff of legends . . .
