Dead obese woman had so much body fat she set the building on fire during her cremation
Austrian crematorium officials have blamed a deceased woman's obesity for causing a blaze which had to be tackled by firefighters.
Firemen in the southern city of Graz were covered in thick sticky soot as they tried to prevent the blaze from taking hold of the building.
The case has been widely reported in Austrian media, including in the ORF - the country's equivalent of our BBC - and has ignited calls for a weight limit on bodies to protect against future fires.

They blamed the dead woman, instead of their sheer incompetence for not checking/replacing the filter. (Read Filter caught fire).
More war on the Fat negative reinforcement.
Calls to limit fat people being cremated but not calls for competent people.
Typical Libs blame the person least responsible for everything.

how do you know the people blaming the dead woman are "libs"? They are not even Americans. Some people are so obsessed with left/right politics that they think the other side is the cause of all the world's problems. WTF

Because everyone knows that conservatives are all fat pancake eating Jesus freaks, and only a Liberal would lambaste someone as blameless as a dead person for their fuckups.

Also, as we know no true scots-- er... conservative would be so mean, therefore it must be a liberal.

So.... you are all for personal responsibility right up to the point of death and then, after they give up the ghost, all their choices in life retroactively become without fault?
For you consideration:
