The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsBacardi Burns: Not Just The Throat
Apparently, some money-grubber is on the attack for some of Bacardi's monopoly. At least, that's just my take on it.
A woman who says she was severely burned at a Miami night club four years ago is suing Bacardi, claiming the company's rum is dangerous and defective.Quite frankly, I think she deserved it.The lawsuit says a bartender was pouring shots when a customer lit a menu on fire and placed it in the stream of alcohol. A bottle of Bacardi 151 that was being used to pour the shots turned into a flame thrower.
The woman says she suffered second- and third-degree burns and was permanently disabled and disfigured.
Miami-based Bacardi USA hasn't commented yet on the suit.
I mean, if she's stupid enough to not know that alcohol burns up if lit, then I say let her sizzle away.
Thanks to this douche, we'll probably have to see warning labels on alcohol bottles and at the bars and nightclubs to prevent future idiotic lawsuits.
F-ing idiot.
She doesn't deserve a dime.
Comments
Bacardi already has a label telling you not to set it on fire.
The Miami-based company says it won't comment on the suits, but that the product is clearly labeled with warnings against setting fire to it.

Well, at least she didn't spill it in her lap.

Why is she suing Bacardi? They didn't set the alcohol on fire. The customer who lit the menu on fire did. Why isn't she suing him?

That reminds me of a model several years ago who was smoking and doing her hair, and she severely burned her hair because her hairspray caught on fire.
She ought to get an honorable mention from the Darwin Awards at least.

What an anus!
I think she has a better chance of getting a quick buck if she bathes herself in gasoline and lights herself on fire, then sue Texaco for making gasoline dangerous.
Where's the serial killers when we need em' ?

He doesn't have as much money as Bacardi.
Hope they tell her to go piss up a rope.
