Odd News #2


Once again I came across an interesting report from Fox News. Apparently Taser has come out with a more consumer friendly shocking device, trying to target [no pun intended?] a market outside of law enforcement. They even come in pink!

A single woman from Arizona is going to great lengths to bring these non-lethal personal protection devices to the public. She is hosting Taser parties. Yes, Taser parties. Not unlike the tupperware parties of yesteryear. You can read more about Dana Shafman and her parties here

This could be a good thing... or it could be bad. Imagine walking down the street in New York or some other crowded city and ZAP! Now you are mysteriously on the sidewalk. You have been Tased. It was most likely someone with nothing to do but, run around zapping people but it could also be someone with more malicious intentions. But, no one assaults you. Good, right? For the most part. The only down side to that is that now you have no idea who the Taser wielding prankster is. 

I will let you decide for yourself, but I personally think this new phenomenon could potentially end quite badly.
