Girl Claims Price Scanner Gave Her Tourette's Syndrome
Attorneys for Dominica Juliano claim that she was burned and developed psychological problems after a store clerk aimed a hand-held price scanner at her face. Store attorneys say their scanners uses a harmless LED light and that the girl had serious health problems before she was scanned. From the article: "Dominica Juliano was 12 when she and her grandmother entered the Country Fair store in Erie in June 2004. A clerk allegedly called the girl 'grumpy' before flashing his hand-held bar code scanner over her face and telling her to smile. Attorneys for Ms. Juliano and her guardian say the girl was sensitive to light and burned, and later developed post-traumatic stress and Tourette's syndrome."
"You're grumpy" *beep* OOOh...Sick burn!
I am not *motherfucker*! *Cockbag*! Shit!
Oh my goodness, I don't ever recall speaking like that before. Must have been the scanner!

Maggie Simpson is going to have a terrible case of Tourette's after being scanned every week for the past ~20 years.
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
The article doesn't explain that it was the combination of LEDs and WiFi that causes this psychological problem. That or vaccines plus violent video games.
It's even more annoying, considering a judge threw out my case against my city's bus service. I was splashed in the face by a puddle in the bus station, where I was picking up some hookers. Next day: BAM. Herpes.

Oh and never mind that Tourettes is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder.
The laser was obviously set to stunt.
Ezekiel 23:20
And don't forgot the old-school favorite, where a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
If someone would believe that, why wouldn't they believe that a 1-milliwatt laser could burn them?
Cue the sound of CIA shredders destroying all evidence of project MKWALMART.
