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.

He lit it on fire and put it out with an ice pick!

Great Balls Of Fire!

Great Balls On Fire!

There, fixed.

Here is hoping that this person will NEVER be able to procreate anything in any way.

At 20 years old, he's probably already got 3 kids by as many girls.

[Lee N. Field]

Did he burn them off?

We may have a Darwin Award here, in the Still Alive But Out of the Running category.

Drunk's nuts roasting on an open fire
Whiskey pick-a-ling his brain
Tho it's been said, many times, everywhere
Darwin's Award strikes again

Would you rather:

Light your own nads on fire.

or

Go on a date (in public) with Helen Thomas.

Then, there's the next step... (Warning: Graphic)

As Jerry Lee Lewis might sing, " Goodness gracious..........

I can see a law suit building against the Zippo Light Fluid Company...

There wasn't a warning: DO NOT APPLY TO GENITALS

I'm sure John Edwards is waiting in the wings to take the case if the presidential gig doesn't work out.

Somewhere, Charles is smiling.

Unfortunately, most of the stupid people who try these crazy stunts don't actually die, so there is no Darwin Award for them.

If most of them died, it would really help to clean up the gene pool.

[HitmanLV]

At least they were just 'gentle burns.'

Oooops, sorry! Misread that one! :-)

[politicalwit]

Jared gets his 15 minutes of fame

Fame or Flame?

[Centurion2000]

So we have Burning Schlong on the Burning Man?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Watching the movie, my B-I-L turned to me and said, someone will try that and we'll hear about on the news.

Of course, he said that about most of the stunts.

I think both of them should be charged with Felony arson. Somebody could have gotten hurt.....er...uh...yea! Somebody got hurt. It's a felony.

Maybe a couple of years in jail will teach him not to light his or anyone else's balls on fire.
