Snow Globe of Death

Remember frosty the snowman?!  That guy was always pretty cool.  Happy, laugh-y, fat, jolly n shiz.  Snowmans are generally pretty cool.

Hallmark, the company that makes cards, gifts, and trinkets decided they’d capitalize on the symbolic coolness of the snowman with a Snowman Snow Globe.

Someone must have snapped at Hallmark and decided to make an evil Snowman Snow Globe.  Evidently this evil Snowman Snow Globe shoots infrared beams out of it’s belly.  The beams which originate from the sun have been causing fires.  At least two so far.

Thanks to unk Sam these evil little bastards are off the shelves.  If you bought one of these as a gift, please inform the recipient that they are in danger.
