Man Burned Trying to Copy Movie Stunt (http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/ap/20070308/117340188000.html)


Attempts to duplicate a movie stunt landed one man in the hospital with burned genitals and another facing criminal charges.


The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the "Jackass" movies, in which a character lights his genitals on fire.


Jared W. Anderson, 20, suffered serious burns to his hands and genitals, according to the criminal complaint. Randell D. Peterson, 43, who sprayed lighter fluid on Anderson and lit him on fire, was charged with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment Tuesday in Eau Claire County Court.

Witnesses told police that Anderson, who was drunk, volunteered to do the stunt Sunday after watching the movie, the complaint said.I think we've all had the experience of wanting a friend to squirt lighter fluid on our genitals and set them on fire...but do we go through with it, or do we use restraint?

Burning your own reproductive organs should merit a Darwin Award, I think.

You know, I've sat around many a night thinking "You know, what I need to do is find a good friend, and set his tackle on fire. Yesiree, that is what is truly missing in my life. Flaming Genitalia."

Not.

There is a reason why they call it Jackass.....because only a real Jackass would do those things. I find South Park much more mentally stimulating.

According to the Darwin awards rules only if he truly manages to sterilize himself, then he would be a candidate. This does give me a good idea of the average intelligence of a Jackass! watcher though.
