1 87. (,dissenting). "Like the ever-expanding, all-consuming alien life form portrayed in the 1958 B-movie classic The Blob, the economic loss doctrine [continues] to be a swelling globule on the legal landscape of this state."1

¶ 88. In the instant case, the majority opinion expands the already swollen flow of economic loss jurisprudence into heretofore unknown territory, grafting the "integrated system" rule from the economic loss doctrine onto the analysis of two commercial general liability (CGL) insurance policies' definitions of "property damage" and "occurrence."
