Jilted Wife Sets 400 Cell Phones On Fire
We're pretty familiar with cell phones immolating themselves. Usually it's cheap, knock-off or poorly designed batteries that explode at the drop of a hat and cause some fireworks and fears of death. A story out of China reports of a very different sort of cell phone fire -- a much larger and rather more intentional type.A 37-year-old woman in China named Mrs. Wang was rather irritated at her husband when he decided to leave their marriage. As retribution she went to the couple's store, where they sell cell phones, gathered 400 of them, put them in a pile inside their house, and lit the whole thing on fire. The pile was reportedly worth about $42,000, which means she obviously picked only the best handsets to ignite.
The look on Mr. Wang's face after he came home to the smoldering mess, however, must have been priceless.

I hope she goes to jail... we all a man who did the same thing would be called an abusive monster and he'd be sent to jail for a while

Jaymen-She can't be considered with domestic violence. She did not touch him. She only destroyed shared property (assuming the story above is correct in stating they both own the store and all content within the store).

Tiburnation - I believe what Jaymen was saying, is if we set fire to a woman's shoes worth that much, we would be considered monsters. It is a metaphor for the same thing, not for physically beating someone. THAT is sickening.
But this is the double standards we are used to since high school when a boy is an *ssh*le and a girl is smart for dumping the other. Go figure!

This one is to good to let Go !
Mr WANGs wife Mrs WANG is mad Because Mr WANG is putting his WANG in another slant ! ROFFLOL !!!!!

The entirety of the $42,000 should be deducted from her share of the divorce settlement.
raaliyah01Mar 10th 2008 3:30PM
ahh.. I wonder if she's ever heard of sweet Lisa Lopes (no disrespect, I love her and TLC)... She shoulda burned down the damn house! lol (and just kidding, too...)
madisonskieMar 10th 2008 3:37PM
Until you have been in her shoes, stop judging. A spouse leaving can be devastating and emotionally crippling. He should be happy she didn't set him on fire.
AidenMar 10th 2008 3:43PM
no offense but he deserved it does any body else remeber the lines til death do us part

TO Harry Assman--
I don't know what your problem is, but calling asians "SLANTS" is not very nice and shows off your lack of intelligence. It's not okay to do that. You have a lot to learn about people, sir.

What about the environmental issues of burnming those cellphones? That is alot of heavymetals and chemicals in issue there.
GaryMar 10th 2008 4:55PM

ChristinaMar 10th 2008 5:03PM
So why even own a stupid cell phone?
Thay are so over rated and there is way to many little brats that have one,not even old enough to have a drivers license!
nateMar 10th 2008 6:38PM
o yes she can go to jail for domestic violence for what she did i put a whole in the wall and went to jail for domestic violence
i_fill_u7Mar 13th 2008 9:43AM
One comment was right it should be taken from her half of the assets
And till death do us part means that your married till death, on that note you don't have to live with that crazy woman that is able to do you or your job and or friends harm.
I'm sorry to hear about this story but she was in the wrong and should suffer for her actions, any one that thinks its right to harm another should never feel sorry for being harmed, and yes taking money away from her husband is harm, taking away his job is harm, and burning down there house is harm.
That woman should fry!!!!!!
betzlut5Mar 10th 2008 6:19PM
GOOD 4 HER!!!!! IF HE WAS HOME WHERE HE SHOULD BE....THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED....HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED,LMAO...!

chrisMar 10th 2008 8:00PM
I am surprised she didn't burn the Rexus too!
JimMar 10th 2008 7:14PM
This is what is called, a 'Tele-Wanger' which she could have 'disconnected' quite easily.
Annie BanannieMar 10th 2008 7:30PM
In China marriage is very sacred! Now this woman is considered a used product! It doesnt work the same way for a man! He can go out and marry someone else no problem. He shamed her! As for her burning up the cell phones, obviously she attacked him where it hurts.. his pocket book! For her, he attacked her emotionally and you know what they say about a woman "Hell hath no fury like the scorn of a woman" ...And, hell hath no fury like a bride who realizes that integrity has been breeched!!!
