How can we dance while our love is turning?
How can we sleep while the beds beards are burning?
The time has come to say 'fairs fair'
To pay the rent now to pay our share.

I believe it was Edwin Starr who first did that song.

Awww, come one now. The guy started his day like every other, decided he'd go downtown and get in some "fun" and then went and set himself on fire. Don't you guys have ANY sense of compassion???? (/sarcasm)

I still think it would be hilarious to give them a few hundred US "Flags" printed on Nomex to burn...

No, four out of five flags should be made of Nomex. The fifth should be made out of some flammable polyester and impregnated with oxidizer. That'll teach them.

Bad luck. The nut lived. Now, he'll sue for not putting a warning label on the petrol can. Directions... Soak head, then flag. Light. Repeat as necessary.

Being an European, I do not fully share the patriotic views of some of the USA citizens in this thread. I, however, found these pictures extremely hilarious. The demonstrator's hair catching fire was entirely his own fault. Did he really think burning a USA flag (an improper one, at that) was going to help him? Even if he thought the USA was an asshole that wouldn't have changed the situation.

There once was an Arab, Abdul
Who set fire to himself, the big fool;
He picked up his lighter
But the flag was a fighter,
So Abdul got too scorched to be cool.
