Williams-Sonoma pulls pressure cookers from store shelves

[Ichinisan]

Also coins, gasoline and propane should be restricted.

Don't forget: Motorized vehicles too.

How many of you regularly cook with pressure cookers, or know someone who does?

we do

 

[darkxshade]

See, that's the right way to do things, now if only we can pull all guns from shelves. :whiste:

What illegal immigrant would ever want to cross our open borders without the ability to purchase pressure cookers, even if they do pose imminent danger to our liberties and freedoms.

 

[Doppel]

Fucking retarded. What an embarrassing thing to do. Absolutely idiotic.

 

[QueBert]

I always thought they were typically used for canning, and little else.

They're used for Chitterlings too.

Is this going too far?

My thoughts: you can still order them online and there are better places to go for a pressure cooker than Williams-Sonoma. What's next, Home Depot pulling pipes from the plumbing department because attackers use pipe bombs? What do you all think?

I think you have a real problem letting businesses make their own policies, and you should never be allowed to hold any position of authority.

I'm a gonna buy them all up and corner that there market.

I use my pressure cooker all the time to cook beans, rice soup, and of course, chili!

OMFG that's stupid. I was thinking they were exploding because of a defective latch or something.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Then pull them permanently.

Just to be clear. Retail stores do nothing unless they feel profits will be had. aka, pulling pressure cookers out of "respect" == let's create some warm fuzzies and get people to our store.

Well, they're not advertising the fact, it's the whiners that are publicizing it for them. Good job!

I'm going to stock up on pressure cookers before Obama bans them.

 

[BoomerD]

When pressure cookers are outlawed, only outlaws will have pressure cookers!

Won't SOMEONE please think of the children?

 

[Iron Woode]

we need a pressure cooker registry and background checks when purchasing them.

Better be a waiting period for nails and ball bearings too.

If I have a pressure cooker at home and I don't have blond hair blue eyes, does that make me a terrorist?

It makes you a smarter terrorist even if you don't know when to use commas.

 

[WHAMPOM]

Gotta get out my stupid measure and set it to a new high.

You're going to have to raise it again.

Who cares?

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Is this going too far?

In a word, Yes.

 

[Slew Foot]

Where is the national pressure cooker Association when you need them

 

[bradley]

Activision has also reacted swiftly to remove all copies of Pressure Cooker from store shelves. Simply because it was just a so-so video game.

[Mermaidman]

Who cares?

Where I was going with my comment is that the reason for Williams-Sonoma pulling pressure cookers off the shelves is a lack of demand for them. However, I just read the OP's link, and it seems to be a silly kneejerk reaction to Boston.

what the fuck
