I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.

I’m sorry that I have to blog this, since:

  • It is a genuine tragedy, and I don’t mean to make light of it.
  • There’s no way that I could not blog this, for obvious reasons.

Fox News reports that Rebecca Burger, who has more than 150,000 followers on Instagram, was killed when a defective whipped cream dispenser exploded and hit her in the chest.

Ms. Burger is described as a “popular French fitness model”. Link goes to the Statesman and not to Fox News because the Fox News story has really obnoxious auto-play video.

I guess this is another one of those “tomorrow is guaranteed to nobody” stories. At any moment you could be hit by a bus, gored by a bull, hit by a falling beam, or even killed in a “freak whipped cream accident”.

Be careful out there.

    “Freak Whipped Cream Accident.”

    I have that DVD. The production values were excellent. (Sorry. I just couldn’t resist.)

    Not that I intend to go looking for it, but I’m sure there’s an entire sub-genre of “freak whipped cream ‘accident'” and other whipped cream related videos…

    “Oh, look! The whipped cream dispenser exploded, and I have whipped cream all over my shirt. Guess I’m going to have to take it off…” (insert generic porn music here)

    Where are the legislators and their outrage for this needless tragedy?
