Man injured after launching firework from bottom
2 hours, 41 minutes ago
LONDON (AFP) - A man was rushed to hospital in Britain with severe internal injuries after trying to launch a powerful firework from his bottom, an ambulance service spokesman said.
It is thought that the 22-year-old could have been trying to imitate a scene from "Jackass: The Movie", a controversial film featuring a series of edgy pranks.
Footage of the incident in Sunderland, north-east England, was captured on a mobile phone by a gang of youths and shows a white flash followed by hysterical laughter and a youth shouting: "Ha ha ha ha," followed by an expletive.
A spokesman for the North East ambulance service said: "We received a call stating there was a male who had a firework in his bottom and it was bleeding."
He is now recovering in a Sunderland hospital after sustaining internal injuries including a scorched colon.
The incident took place on November 5, when Britons light bonfires and let off fireworks to commemorate a 17th century plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
You only get one colon. Don't scorch it.
I think he was trying to get Barney Frank's attention.
"Helloooo Barneee! Look at meeeee!"
The ultimate 'crotch rocket'.

Now you know why they call it a firecracker.
Two words you never want to see together are "scorched" and "colon".
Wouldn't even surprise me one bit if Bill flamed that way too.
Guy Fawkes started quite a fad, playing with fireworks and all! Bet he would laugh his butt off about this one!
I always think of Johnny Cash when that happens to me. "And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire."
So from now on I guess when parents tell their children not to stick things, like peas, up their noses they will also have to include a lecture on bottle rockets in the bum.
I thought we were "evolving", doesn't that mean getting smarter?
I don't think I would want to see that guy in hot pants.
He thought he would achieve "lift off"..
Did John Kerry shoot himself in the ass again?
The ultimate 'crotch rocket'.
I will now always associate this comment to this thread... too funny!
Look, when I was young and dumb, I was young and dumb. But there's no way I ever would have voluntarily put a firework up my butt and tried to light it. Not even my fraternity brothers could have gotten me to do that. There's stupid, and then there's downright insane.
This guy is going to be the butt of a lot of jokes.
I'll bet his friends were laughing their asses off.
If ever a person had a reason to swear, I'd say a scorched colon would be a good one.
This is one of those stories where they could leave off the sex of the victim..... and people would still get it right.
This guy is going to be the butt of a lot of jokes.
I'll bet his friends were laughing their asses off.
Well you can bet that they laughed HIS ass off!!!
