You know the sex is hot when it starts a fatal fire.
It’s even hotter, as a news item, when the fire is caused by a voodoo sex ritual.
The New York Post, which digs this sort of thing up regularly, said a woman visited the apartment building and paid a man $300 to perform a voodoo ceremony to bring her good luck. After the ceremony they decided to have sex.
The fire was sparked after the couple knocked over the candles that were arranged on the floor around the bed, igniting the bed linens and clothes on the floor, the Post article said.
Mary Feagin, 62, who was not participating in the ritual, died in the fire.
“Hopefully others will learn from this tragedy,” said NYC Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano.
Like don’t mix sex and voodoo?

None of the 62 year old women I know will even have sex anymore, I need a voodoo ritual for that, I’ll use those fake battery operated candles, I promise.

This is probably some of the worst writing I have ever read in my life.

I don’t mean to speak ill of the dead, but this one needs to be a candidate of the Darwin Award.

Doesn’t look like it brought her any good luck. Guess that is nature’s way of telling someone not to ask for luck, and work with what was given to you.

appears to me that she had it coming. People that do the voodoo will burn in hell anyways.
She just got a jump start on her eternal life.
Happy ever after, Mary!
