America: still angered by own stupidity.

Yesterday the AP ran an article about some study that said you could microwave sponges to kill the germs. So last night all over America morons attempted to microwave dry sponges.
I don't want to be a bigger ass than usual, but seriously, didn't it occur to them that they might need water in those sponges?
I'm just saying. I read the article and thought, oh it is just like the old fashioned way of cleaning sponges, setting them on fire boiling them in water.
According to today's article the sponges melted and caught on fire, ruining microwaves and producing a foul stench.
Either I am a complete jerk or this is hilarious. I love you, you great big fat stupid America!!
