Angry Chinese woman sets 400 phones on fire
It's a crazy, mixed-up world we live in. If we aren't worrying about global warming or peace in the middle east, we have to be on the lookout for scorned women setting large quantities of mobile devices on fire. A certain Mrs. Wang is guilty of that latter offense. The 37-year-old Chinese woman wasn't particularly stoked about her husband walking out on their marriage, so she did the only reasonable thing that presented itself: rounded up the entire stock of more than 400 phones the couple had at their joint-owned cellphone shop, and set the entire lot ablaze -- inside her home. The collection was valued at roughly 300,000 yuan, about $42,000 US. You might want to take this time to inform your significant other how sane, rational and sexy he or she is, while simultaneously removing all lighter fluid from your home. No gadget is safe!

That's horrible. Why do people waste money so needlessly?

Maybe she has a bad case of tinnitus.

I can understand being upset, but she burn the house down along with the cellphones? She obviously crazy, and that's why the husband left. Do you blame him?

Each cell phone was worth about $105.00??? In CHINA!???? Seriously... that seems a little steep for China.

it's totally possible. in china phones are sold without plans. there is no such thing like "free phone with 2-year contract".
