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).

The entirety of the $42,000 should be deducted from her share of the divorce settlement.

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...)

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.

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.

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!

Jim @ Mar 10th 2008 7:14PM
This is what is called, a 'Tele-Wanger' which she could have 'disconnected' quite easily.

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!!!

======================
You more than likely went to jail not because you hit a wall but because you tried to smash up your wife/GF and missed! Don't pull the I'm INNOCENT CRAP! .. anyone who can strike as you did is capable of anything so good they got you just for that.. bet you wont do that again now will you????
