'Hero' Greek woman sets fire to drunken Briton's genitals
Telegraph (UK) ^ | 06 Aug 2009 | Paul Anast

A 26-year old Greek woman has become an overnight national hero after setting fire to the genitals of a 23-year old drunken Briton who allegedly tried to sexually assault her in a crowded bar.

The unidentified woman from the fiercely proud island of Crete won herself even more praise by doing the right legal thing – turning herself over to police and the courts to be put on trial for what she claimed was her "right to self-defence". ..

According to a police statement issued last night the incident occurred at a club in the notorious coastal resort of Malia, which is dominated by young Britons seeking all-night revelry. It alleged the Briton took down his trousers and started waving his genitals at a number of girls...

After asking him to stop harassing her, the police said, she poured the alcoholic drink Sabucco on his genitals (an Italian brand type of Greek ouzo or French Pernod drink). This again allegedly failed to stop his advances, so the woman seized a lighter and set fire to the alcohol-drenched genitals, local press reports said.

the other stories just said she set him on fire. this brings a whole new light to the event.

the brits have a national drinking problem, perhaps they are just depressed over the decline of their once great country and takeover by the muslims.

Too bad Paula Jones didn’t have some alcohol and a lighter handy.

> Sabucco

Sambucca perhaps? ‘tis Italian, tastes like Ouzo, and will most assuredly catch fire if warmed first...

Uh, look, the guy was a slob, but reading the article, he was engaged in drunken, stupid behaviour, not sexual assault. He’s going to be crippled for life by this. For what? Being drunk and a slob? She could have just given him a righteous nut slam and called it a day. This was an angry and malicious act.

Most people usually wait until after sex to smoke.

Retsina... ahhhh! The source of many a happy hangover when I was in college, poor, and living down the street from a Greek Taverna. It is truly an acquired taste, and I made a Herculean effort and acquired it!

Trouble 'n' strife; that's your wife
Plights 'o' meat; that's your feet
Hampton wick; that's your d!@k

This young Cretan was merely demonstrating cockney slang, turning the young Brit's pudendum into a Hampton Wick. BTW, they don't call'em Cretans for nothing.

While the Brit was a total A-Hole, there was too much thinking on the part of the woman to call it self-defense. It was more like her acting as Judge and Jury and inflicting the sentence all by herself. While funny, I think she should be the one in jail. Just me. The Brit is or was still a total A-Hole, none the less.

This is why I never allow my burned-genitals travel insurance to lapse.

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
