      It's very Nobel of you to admit that.

              A few points-

              1- There's no mention of anyone actually being at fault here. There might have been a "catastrophic failure" of machinery without anyone screwing up.

              2- There's no mention of how serious the injuries were, other than half of those sprayed not needing hospital treatment and none of them life-threatening. If serious injuries were involved, why is the reporter not mentioning it?

              3- Does that fact that the company was "hit with" only "proposed" penalties mean it actually had no penalties imposed at all?

              4- Why is this desperately badly-written story getting attention?

                    Despite being completely serious, it'll still get more laughs than the puns.

                      Because nobody actually gives a damn about the safety of industrial greasemonkeys, but we all like to play up other peoples' misfortunes for political points.

                          "For more than one hundred years my family has taken great pride in our safety record and our close relationship with our employees," Johnson said in a statement.


                          The relationship was so close, he tried to have his employees bronzed...

                          ACK!

                            Am I Russian for immediately thinking Obama's special services were behind the incident because he wanted to punish his critics?

                                Okay, to be fair, I only refrain from doing it myself because I'm fairly apathetic politically. But c'mon; if this incident had been twice as bad, and happened in a strongly blue state, it wouldn't have made the news at all. Because the story isn't "group of random strangers gets hurt," it's "group of random strangers gets hurt in way that can be leveraged to cause embarrassment for a political group." Which is why they didn't get to the bottom of the points Bugs mentioned. Complicated facts and nuance would only get in the way of a nice, clean, good-and-evil narrative.
