Have some of you people no compassion for this man and his family? What if he was one of your loved ones? Someone loved this man,why do you not show some common decency?

cry us a river this is not a eulogy board it is a blog. People write what they please--and if they steer clear of curse words and threats, CBS will probably print it--we don't like blog police--it is bad enough that CBS has to censor us--but most people ignore posters who think they have been elected blog monitors. if the family does not like the posts--they should not be reading the blog--like bad tv and books--avoid what you do not want to read or watch.

Think I'll stick to donuts.

Mmmmm donuts.

I feel like slowly sinking into a vat of donuts.

Wonder if I'd float in it.

At 4'-2" and 537 lbs. I think I would float.

I am surprised that the subheading describes the chocolate as 'boiling'. Chocolate starts to melt around 90F, and is usually melted to around 120F during the tempering process - hot enough that you don't want to fall into it (hot tubs are around 106 to 108F), but not boiling by any means. If chocolate is heated above about 150F, it will scorch. Still far from boiling. Calling the chocolate boiling certainly makes a more dramatic story, but shame on CBS for resorting to inaccurate reporting just for drama. Do your research before you do your reporting.

People subjected to water at the pools in Yellowstone died after temps of 120 degrees which is enough to give 3rd degree burns. One does not have to approach 212 degrees to burn to death.

There sure are some sick shiits on here. The temp probably never got adequate training. As you all know there is no training anymore.

Sadly I don't think that was intended as rascist, its more a fact with chinese products. Why don't you stop shopping at walmart you fatass.

I heard that he didn't die from falling into the vat, or drowning in the chocolate.

He was OK, until one of his co-workers bit off his head!



(Sorry, but some of the best humor comes from tragedy)

Yup...when I see "temporary worker", I immediately think high turnover, inexperienced, under-trained, unmotivated, and at risk.

But none of that matters to the employing company, 'cuz temps are cheappppppp...
