Poor Mr. Snuggles

Jersey City, New Jersey: March 10, 2004

A politician was shaken and scalded Tuesday after his mobile phone exploded beside him while he was sleeping, a local New Jersey paper reported.

Ronatarian Party vice presidential candidate Brad said he was recharging his cell phone and placed it on his bed near him before he took a nap. Three hours later, he was jarred awake by what he described as a small explosion.

"The explosion scalded my buttocks, while there were burn marks on the mattress, the wall, and on Mr. Snuggles my teddy bear," Brad told The New Jersey Spew.

"At first I was confused about what had exploded, but I realized it was my mobile phone when I saw it was shattered in pieces," he said.

Brad said he had purchased a new battery for the phone a week ago.

"I got it from one of those street vendors," he said. "It was a great deal...I couldn't pass it up. I also got some gummy bears from the guy. He had everything."

He received treatment for the injury at a local hospital and returned home without further incident.
