Out in Erie County the massive ConAgra grain silo came tumbling down in an intentional explosion, part of a four-year project by Huron to clear the massive complex — built in 1947, vacant since 2001 — to make way for river-front development.
Nothing too remarkable there, right? Boom goes the dynamite, or so the saying goes.
Except that the button on the demolition was pushed by a 7-year-old boy named Maxwell Hinton from California after Make-a-Wish helped the sick kid attain his dream, which wasn’t to meet a celebrity or ride or horse or something silly like that. No, his wish was simply to blow a building the fuck up. A man after our own hearts. Good for you, Max.
“I watch MythBusters and they inspired me to blow a building up,” said the young boy from Fresno, Calif.What was once a granary is no more thanks to Max. On Sunday the boy imploded the old ConAgra grain mill with help from the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
“I got cancer, Neuroblastoma, and I went through treatment and they made a wish for me,” Maxwell said.

I would love to share this article with my own 7 year old…however you just had to use the ‘F’ word. How gratuitous and ridiculous. An article about a 7 year old which is inappropriate for him to even read. What were you thinking??
Fuck you too.
You mean you can’t do a search on the internet and find a similar article without a Fuck in it? You’re fucking kidding me?
