Oh, please.

Can we start requiring I.Q. Test results before selling lottery tickets?

I hope their neighbors sue them for what is left of their winnings; they could have set many houses on fire.

I thought it would have been the meth lab blowing up, but these morons were just trying to light their bong. What's wrong with cigarette lighters?

What do need a lawyer for? They blew up their house, it's their fault. Unless they are going to be stupid enough to sue someone over it, then they don't need a lawyer.

Then again, if they are stupid enough to blow up their own house, they might be stupid enough to sue.

Maybe they could get in trouble for the weed and meth? And sometimes it's a pity that stupidity isn't a criminal offense.

Arn't there legal issues with blowing up a house? The one guy went to jail. I bet the insurance will try to get out of this, theres another trip to court.

Maybe this will inspire a sequel to the bestseller "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People".
