Man injured after launching firework from bottom

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.
 
Man, one of my cousins runs a TNT Fireworks office in England. I blame her. :D
 
So the Brits celebrate the near-torching of their Parliament building by blowing **** up?

No pun intended by the "blowing **** up" comment by the way. Even though this guy almost did.

They truly suck at fun.

This sounds like something you'd see at a West Virginia family picnic.

Hey ya'll, watch this!

And how many of those have you been to?
Is that where you met your wife?
 
This thread is useless without . . .

Wait, I'd rather it were useless.

And what a barrel of laughs he was.

The man spent a lot of time studying really big, slow, tedious turtles.
He was either really:
1) patient
2) bored
or
3) boring

I really hate to disagree with you Mr. *******, but I assume are are forgetting Benny Hill.
 
Kid in the town next to my hometown killed himself trying to imitate Jackass. Nobody was surprised. That town is straight out of Deliverance.
 
Unfortunately ... it's been done ...



It also confirms for me the theory that boys are dumb.
 
That story gave me the red ass! (drum roll)

Fire in the hole! (drum roll)

What an asshole! I mean, WHAT AN ASSHOLE! (drum roll)

God I hate Vaudevillian humor. Better stick with what I know.
