And these jackass did not get it. They tried a stunt from the movie jackass.....and lit up the family jewels. Seems like the 'victim' was drunk but he should not have such stupid friends around who goes along with an idea to light up genitals.

Man burns genitals in 'Jackass' stunt

Eau Claire, Wisconsin: 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.:headbang:

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.

I'm sorta curious how they did that "stunt" in the movie without anyone getting seriously injured, but then again, I don't really want to know.

And apparently the stupidity of people knows no bounds.

Moreover, the penis has to be one of the worst places to get severe burns on. Burn scars have to be softened continually anyway and still hurt like hell when the skin is stretched, so you really don't want to imagine having them on your dick, for all places. :rolleyes:

I say, throw them in a room with a couple of kegs, matches and some lighter fluid. Why waste tax payers money on this?

The idiot said he wanted to do the stunt. Yet the other man is being charged with a felony?

Possibly he was the sober or more sober one ... same reason you cant take advantage of a drunk chick that is too drunk to consent

I don't know for sure but it would make sense if he was in a position to make a rational decision but the drunk guy was too far gone to.

Shouldn't he be given an award for public service? With any luck this fool will no longer be able to reproduce.

maybe they did it like the stunt where you put a mix of 50% water and 50% alcohol on a handkerchief and light it on fire, if you put it out soon enough you will see now evidence of the fire because the warmth was used to evaporate the water instead of burning the handkerchief.

and i think i'd rather be burned on my penis than on my face or maybe even my hands. just because your penis is (most of the time) less visible than your face.

Okay, I've been assuming that they were both drunk. If the other man was sober than I can see him being charged with something. I still wouldn't agree to a felony as he was simply a contributer to the other mans stupidity, he didn't have any intention in hurting him.

I can go along with this. :)

I don't recall that stunt from the movie and I've seen both Jackass movies more than once.

I remember something like that from one of Steve-O's "Don't Try Ths At Home" DVDs.

But honestly, who the hell watches that crap? ;)

I think people that consider setting their exterior pumbing aflame may not have a thought process that would design protective or preventative gear.

its the opportunists that witness this behavior and start a supply for this demand.

This is the sort of thing that should earn a Darwin award.

I took a look through the latest edition and it was full of stories of unfortunate accidents due to carelessness, but no one in them died or was sterilized. This story at least comes close.

My room mate. He's the least discriminating consumer of entertainment I know. His standard is quantity, not quality. He'll watch anything just so long as the television is on from sunup to sundown. Drives me nuts when I'm trying to study.
