Drunk WISCONSIN Man Pulled Down Pants, Had Friend Spray Genitals With Lighter Fluid & Light Fire

[matcom]

<snip>

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. --Attempts to do 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.

According to the complaint:

Anderson pulled down his pants and let Peterson spray him with lighter fluid. When the fire didn't catch, Peterson sprayed more lighter fluid on Anderson, splashing some on his clothing. He tried again to light the fire, catching Anderson's genitals, hands and clothes.

Anderson ran into the bathroom, jumped into the tub and put the flames out. Other guests took him to Luther Hospital, and eventually he was treated at the Regions Hospital Burn Unit in St. Paul, Minn., for second-degree burns.

Anderson told police who were called to the hospital that he didn't want anyone to get in trouble because of the stunt.

Peterson was freed on a $2,000 signature bond. He has a hearing scheduled April 16. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

31. Ouchies! I'm definitely never going to get THAT drunk.

I haven't been topple-off-the-stool drunk since the early 1960s.

Too many "Grasshoppers." Another announcer from WIOD (WCKT) had to drive me home. His name was Ken Malden. I was mortified. That was the last and only time.

2. What is it about Wisconsin?

I did the same thing in college.

Except without the lighter fluid. I'm not an idiot.

[AllegroRondo]

4. too much beer and free time.

but when I lived there, we would just get drunk and go cow tipping.

[kedrys]

47. At least it wasn't in Texas

where a good many stupid stunts come from these days... :eyes:

[underpants]

3. Okay the really bad part about this is that they probably weren't drinking on Jackass

O8)

[Richardo]

5. Are the qualifiers 'drunk' and 'Wisconsin' really necessary?

I mean, doesn't it go without saying? :eyes:

[baldguy]

7. Might be 'Florida'...

9. Most common last words in Wisconsin:

"Honey, hold my beer and watch this."

[LynneSin]

10. How are these people capable of electing smart senators like Russ Feingold

I mean stunts like that you'd think someone like Rick Santorum's evil twin would be their senator

[AngryAmish]

15. 2 words: Joe McCarthy

[Art_from_Ark]

44. Two more words:

James Sensenbrenner

[jane_pippin]

46. We aren't *all* idiots.

Plus, I don't think that the drunk genital lighting set is real keen on following Senate races. :D

[LynneSin]

6. Matcom, perhaps you should stop trying to get those 7-20 drinks in each day

If you're gonna do crazy stunts like this

:hide:

11. As a resident of the great state of Wisconsin, I can proudly say that

I have never been drunk and set my nether regions on fire at the same time

[LynneSin]

13. Have you been drunk and set anything on your body on fire

Fess up!

[Poiuyt]

14. Not simultaneously

It's a really funny story, but I don't know if I want to discuss it here. You people might lose your deep respect for me as a responsible citizen of DU.

[Richard Steele]

20. Deliberately?

[Poiuyt]

34. Of course not. Do you think I are stupid?

[xmas74]

36. As a former resident

I can state that I've never done it either.

I've puked in public many times (two of which I still blame on Miller Brewing for making a bad batch and on a sports bar in Warsaw for the quarter draws) but I've never, ever thought of setting something on fire.

[youthere]

18. "...suffered serious burns to his hands and genitals"

I'll bet that's a smell you don't soon forget.

I mean really, how fucking drunk do you have to be to light your genitals on fire? Seriously!!!

[riverdeep]

22. This guy

was really bringing the true meaning of the Darwin awards to life, without actually dying. But he tried really hard to make sure the stupidity doesn't get passed on. So he gets a cookie for the effort.
And ointment.

[Blue-Jay]

23. Hey ya'll. Watch this!

[KG]

24. what stunt were these cro-magnons trying to re-enact?

[KamaAina]

25. And the Darwin goes to....

Ow ow oww oww owwwwww owwie owwie owwwwwie!

Remember, you don't actually have to die to win the coveted Darwin Award; all that is required is that you render yourself unable to procreate, thereby removing yourself from the gene pool.

[meldroc]

26. Why is this a bad thing?

Never underestimate the value of natural selection on society.

Survival of the smartest, the stupid perish.

[billyskank]

28. What doesn't he understand about the word "jackass"?

:shrug:

[MonkeyFunk]

29. almost happened to me once...

Once I almost set my dick on fire in McDonalds. Was rummaging through my pocket for change and somehow, some way, had a book of matches that had one match bent around the book, and while trying to pull out the change, I lit the match. In my pocket. I'm sure people thought I was insane as I started jumping and hooting and smacking my crotch.

[mark414]

30. it seems ridiculous that the other guy's facing charges

he didn't forcibly light the guy on fire, he was a willing volunteer - too many charges for too many non-crimes...stupid yes, but a crime? no

[LSK]

33. WTF!!!!!

[greatauntoftriplets]
