quote [ “The underlying story is what tragedies are made of,” said Rick Morrison, an attorney who represented the Woods family in a lawsuit—just one lawsuit of many in a decades-long web of cases that accuse Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. of aggressively covering up a deadly defect that’s responsible for at least nine deaths.
The tire that burst was a Goodyear G159. It was a tire that was designed for lower-speed delivery vehicles and, according to the suits, shouldn’t have been equipped on RVs at all; a tire that lawyers and victims say is responsible for scores of crashes over the past two decades. ] Is it really the worst tire in history? I'm not sure, but this is a long and detailed examination of what seems to be a major cover up by Goodyear and a failure by Federal regulators.

It is weird and, in an objective view, a bad movie, but I found it fascinating once I accepted that. A kind of beauty in their commitment to the weirdness, a surrealist parody of horror movies that went for a step back from the camera instead of the typical parody tactic of absurd slapstick.

Jesus.
Your comment should be the official review of the movie, or maybe its tagline. Most accurate description EVER! But yes, it is indeed a 'bad' movie. I have a special liking for horribly made movies tho (Dead Alive). |

But if we just allowed companies to self-regulate, instead of crippling them with government oversight, things like this* would never happen.
* coverups to avoid government oversight |

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
