    You may remember consumeraffairs.com from their amazing discovery that YMMV and their brave attempt to gather Prius Owners together to sue over it.

    Now, they've made yet another research breakthrough. Pyrex Panic: Shrapnel in the Kitchen

    This follows hot on the heels of their recent public service announcements "Ice is Slippery" and "You get wet if you go out in the rain without an umbrella"

    I don't know what we'd do without them.

    If you look around,theyhave also found other mind boggling dangers that just might require a lawsuit.

    In Hybrid News, they do cover the new Camry Hybrid - They compare the Camry Hybrid price to the price of the cheapest available Camry Model, and declare a $5,400 "Hybrid Premium".

    Lol... Just a "little" bit of fearmongering there...

    Keep 'em scared! Be OH so very afraid!

    Lol...

    (used Pyrex for years both cooking at home, and in labs for chemistry work, never saw any pyrex spontaneously "explode" without outside help)

    So the Hybrid Camry with tons of cool features costs more than the Camry CE? Well no freakin' duh!

    The fact is, it takes a split second for them to polute the minds of millions of readers. Refuting their stupidity can take years.
