This stupid actually burns
From an NBC News story, where they hire bloggers and reporters who are the most senseless and fit for the job:
The Molotov cocktail was named after Vyacheslav Molotov, the Soviet foreign minister during the 1950s. It is a general term used to describe improvised incendiary devices.
The Molotov cocktail, contrary to the beliefs of some US news ninnies, was used in World War II and a bit before, getting its name in the Russo-Finnish conflict, as described in William L. Shirer’s “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.”
This came at the end of a story on the ridiculous gone real — how a kid’s magazine — think Highlights for Children, only Tunisian — put the above how-to for fire bombs in its current issue.
The editor was compelled to apologize for his lapse of judgment on television.
Perhaps they will give him a public whipping, it not obviously being an issue of the Tunisian edition of MAD.
Morons are much cheaper than a dime a dozen worldwide. Stan Lee, who — overall — always believed in setting a good example for young readers, if he’s seen it, must be appalled.
