EPA Shuts Down Local Ghost-Entrapment Business

[DainBramaged]

Citing unsafe practices and potential toxic contamination, the Environmental Protection Agency shut down a small ghost- entrapment operation in downtown Manhattan today, and had four of the business' spectral-containment specialists arrested in the process.
According to EPA agent Walter Peck, employees of the company—located in an old fire station in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York—had repeatedly refused to grant him access to their storage facility, which posed a health hazard to the surrounding community.

"The facility in question unlawfully used public utilities for the purpose of non-sanctioned waste-handling, and was in direct violation of the Environmental Protection Act," Peck said. "Additionally, this company possessed several unlicensed portable nuclear accelerators that were frequently discharged within mere feet of civilians."
Some who witnessed the arrests felt that Peck had launched a personal crusade against the business, possibly due to a previous verbal altercation with one of the ghost-removal professionals, former parapsychology research professor Dr. Peter Venkman.
"It definitely seemed as though Agent Peck had an ax to grind," said Consolidated Edison technician Brian Holmes, who was ordered by Peck to turn off the containment system located in the basement of the company's headquarters. "I had never seen anything even resembling that type of equipment before. I was extremely hesitant to shut it down, but I didn't want to lose my job."

Only Jason's not a bigoted, idiot tool for the rightwing (not that I know of)

13. Whatever Jason's political beliefs he does not bring them up

In fact, other than his apparent belief in ghosts he doesn't make a point about religious beliefs either. I like his skeptical approach.

11. In these depressing days, I need to head to the Onion more

often. Hey Dain, probably someone has told you this before, but, someone on FR posts with the Username "Dainbramage" I was following a link from here, saw that name in a post that said something like "Obama suks" and it threw me for a minute. Doesn't have a "d" at the end.
Just wanted to warn you in case you're accused of trollery.
