Man burns genitals in 'Jackass' stunt
18 minutes ago
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.
Something a little different from the fishy women stories of this week.

His cousin, Herkimer Dickson, is also implicated.

Why didn't they give him a medal for clearing up the gene pool or something!!!
We need more "Jackass" movies!!!
And distribute them to terrorist countries with dubbed voicetracks or at least subtitles!!!
Geesh, do I have to think of everything!!!
Weapon of Ass Destruction?
Hopefully this stunt abolished any chances this idiot will ever pass on his genes.
LOL! As if there was ever a doubt!
Oh for Pete's sake just shoot him, he doesn't deserve to waste more of our oxygen.
That's nuts!
Hahahahaha! Like a disclaimer will do anything to stop the true idiot.
Yet.

Well, no FEMALE has ever been injured imitating the "Jackass" movies, that's for sure. :)
