Man burns genitals in 'Jackass' stunt

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.

The name on the link is very appropriate: Jackass copycat. I think I smell a Darwin Award!

1. He can't win a Darwin Award unless he dies, can he?

Although the burning of the genitals may amount to the same thing, with respect to removing his dumb self from the gene pool.

Who ARE these people? :rofl:

2. Nope, just remove himself from the gene pool

Burning one's genitals so badly that he is incapable of fathering children would be sufficient. As for who these people are, I have no idea. The idea of sitting through a half hour of of sick, masochistic pranks is not my idea of a good time; folks who will sit through two hours of sick, masochistic pranks too disgusting even for cable television are NOT the kind of folks I want to understand.
