Fox News Megyn Kelly’s pepper spray comments spark backlash
 Source: The Upshot News Blog

Following the protests at UC Davis, during which Occupy protesters were sprayed with pepper spray by a campus police officer, Fox News commentator Megyn Kelly went on the Bill O'Reilly show.

Kelly appeared to downplay the physical effects of pepper spray. Kelly said pepper spray is "like a derivative of real pepper. It's a food product essentially."

Maybe so, but her comments have sparked a spicy backlash. A petition is circulating on the Internet that suggests Kelly should put her eyeballs where her mouth is by getting sprayed with the substance on live television. Currently, more than 16,000 people have signed the pledge. Kelly herself notes in the interview that the spray is "obviously invasive and obtrusive and several went to the hospital."

Over the past 24 hours, Web searches for "megyn kelly" and "megyn kelly pepper spray" soared more than 1,000%.

2. I was watching a show on MSNBC early this afternoon,
 and an expert brought out a graph indicating the "heat" of all peppers, and pepper spray is 1,000,000 times "hotter" and more caustic than the hottest pepper. So it's like comparing a bunkerbuster bomb to a fire cracker.

That much times more hot than the infamous Ghost Chili. I call

4. People who really know food--those who cook for a living--always warn you to wash
 your hands after handling a hot pepper so that you don't get any on yourself, especially your eyes.

Damn, it looks like I underestimated it, and I was wrong. As far as I've heard, (on food network) the ghost chili is one of the hottest things on earth. Edibles, that is...
