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.
I'd go for "chocolate syrup on ice cream", myself. Never tried that topping...
I guess there is no level to how low my mind will wander. I had the same thought. LOL
Jeez,I used to think having a firecracker go off in
your hand was petty stupid.
Bet he doesn`t do that again.
Also needs to lay off watching Jackass shows for any fresh ideas.
Shootin' off his rectal rocket.
JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA: I want to have babies.
REG: You want to have babies?!
LORETTA:It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
REG: But... you can't have babies.
LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.
REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA: [crying]
JUDITH: Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG: What's the point?
FRANCIS: What?
REG: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!
FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
Must have been gay....a real flamer!!
Jackass II just recently came out.
Firecrackers don't launch.
Yep, and as far as I know, there's no rocket butt-launch in it, so my original point stands. ;)
That YOU know of! ;)
I knew a guy who did this once....
wait for it, wait for it.....
but it rectum.
"No stupid, I said it's a BOTTLE rocket, not a BUTTHOLE rocket"
(I did that so you wouldn't have to.)
Gives new meaning to the word "stink bomb."
There has got to be an Aggie joke in here or something...
See Allegra has the right attitude.
Are you volunteering for launch site duty?
