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.
Our latest contender for a Darwin Award.

Hey! I represent that remark!
It's the testosterone poisoning that does it; you guys can't help it. But I guarantee no woman has ever done this.
And I thought I needed to yell "Come on ice cream" after eating jalapenos......
Well, I guess we know what burns his ---.

I love you, maggief, and I want to have your babies.
"While most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent...all signs indicated that the human race was heading in the opposite direction - a dumbing down. This segues into a hilarious split screen montage where, on one side, we see a yuppie couple who keep putting off having children because of their careers, the stock market, and so on, and on the other side we see a white trash couple who keep having children because they "ain't got no rubbers."
"As the yuppies get older and infertile, the white trash side overflows with dirty, mulleted babies. The narrator reminds us "Evolution does not necessarily reward that which is good or beautiful. It simply rewards those who reproduce the most.""
LOL!
Wow. I don't believe I've ever heard that phrase before.
Barney Frank day?
I would encourage this and fill the rolls of the Darwin Award. The fewer of these types the better, in my book.
