It's the kids fault really. Cologne etc is meant to be sprayed in the air, and then to be walked through right after. Not 5 seconds of constant spray on your body IN A SMALL CONCEALED ROOM. Especially with a medical condition.

This is a terrible unfortunate occurrence . . . but the kid deserves some blame. You don't spray a ton of shit on in an enclosed room and breath it all in.

Who knows, the kid may have been huffing the stuff.
I'm Sure he had some Secrets. If his parents had the Right Guard, he might still be here.

True, we shouldn't get hot & bothered by these kinds of sensationalist stories.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

we really need to axe them, because to a certain degree, its old-spice journalism. it's time for a change to the rite-guard.

It alerts parents to an important health risk. Also, people laughing about it doesn't make it not sad. I would say that laughter is a coping mechanism, but in this case it's probably just indicative of GAF's love of corny puns in inappropriate situations.

Bingo. I mean, it's an interesting story, and it's very unusual, but it's also a great reminder that you shouldn't keep yourself in an enclosed space while using any sort of chemical, including deodorant.

It's true that some of the blame falls on the kid, but then again, why bother blaming anyone? I could see taking that attitude if you were friends with the parents and they blamed themselves, or if the parents decided to sue the deodorant manufacturer, but that's not the case.

btw, I know you were just talking about the Darwin Awards, so don't take this as an attack on you.

He was twelve. He probably didn't know better.
 
Once when I was really young my brother started using deoderant and I asked what it was and he told me I was too young to use it LOL.

Later that week I had a nightmare that Tucan Sam the fruit loops dude gave me a stick up in a treehouse village and I used it and then I crippled away like the dude in The Thinner until I died.

Scared the fuck outta me!

Then I realized that was fucking crazy deoderant can't kill you. I guess I was wrong!
