I just read this in the NY Times and had to post it. I still can't quite get this image out of my head LOL.

Brit Burns Bum With Firecracker

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: November 9, 2006
Filed at 9:00 p.m. ET

LONDON (AP) -- A 22-year-old man suffered internal injuries after lighting a small firecracker he had inserted into his buttocks, paramedics said Thursday.

The incident took place Sunday, when Britain celebrated Bonfire Night, traditionally marked with fireworks to celebrate the Guy Fawkes' gunpowder plot to blow up Parliament in the 17th century.

The man suffered burns and other unspecified internal injuries in the incident in Sunderland, 275 miles north of London.

Katherine Shenton, a spokeswoman for the North East Ambulance Service, said a caller had phoned in that the victim was bleeding after the firecracker exploded.

Several of the man's friends recorded the incident on a mobile phone. The blurry images show a man bent over with his pants down and a white flash as the firecracker explodes.

The Times newspaper reported the man is a soldier who recently returned from Iraq.

Didn't the Yanks, the Jackass-guys shoot actual fireworks out of their ass? And they showed that on MTV?

Well they didn´t insert it there, they had longer "straw" (for the lack of better word) where the actual firecracker was.

Ah hell Yvonne - You should know I'm not insulting all British people. I just found it funny as hell and thought people here would get a laugh out of it. Perhaps in order to be PC I should have said "Are all People crazy/"

Personally, I like Neil's answer "Natural Selection" in progress.

And Ice - I was actually unaware that anyone on MTV was shooting anything out of their ass. I must have missed that
