Early on in The Driller Killer (Abel Ferrara, 1979), before all the bloodshed starts, a New Yorker, played by Carolyn Marz, reads from an unidentified newspaper. “Oh, God. Listen to this. ‘Mrs. Patricia Adams of Queens Village gave her poodle a bath and, being late for a beauty parlor appointment, placed the dog in a microwave oven to dry it off. When she turned the oven on, the poodle exploded. The woman died of a heart attack.’”
