it's generally accepted that the use of candle at any where around the world lead to set blaze which is causing loses of many life so we have to be very careful in order to rescue our life from such victims
misleading title
Agreed. Neither Voodoo nor sex caused a fire - a candle knocked over did. It is frustrating to observe such a common story of negligence portrayed in a sensational fashion.
From what I've noticed English Wikinews seems to have a tradition of misleading title, although in this case I would argue that voodoo was indeed a cause of the fire. Voodoo is a joke, voodoo priests should be sent to jail for fraud, and those who seek their services to an insane asylum.
the issue of Voodoo of some flavor (which one?) being a joke has little to nothing to do with whether someone knocked over a candle during sex or whether someone was careless with a big object.
btw, what sort of sex doesn't involved ritual? sex usually involves very specific behavior often unique to a participant's culture. remove voodoo entirely and leave this as a story about a woman surrounded by candles for a sex act... and it still sounds like a ritual. 14:49, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
