Man shoots fireworks from ass, scorches colon
Quote:
Man injured after launching firework from bottom
Thu Nov 9, 7:38 AM ET
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.

My ex was with a bunch of his drunken army buddies years ago, and they all shot bottle rockets from their asses. I was just incredulous that grown men would do that. People will do just about anything, I guess.

I wish I'd had that picture of my ex during the divorce. Might have given me some leverage.

From the BBC:
"Paramedics found the 22-year-old bleeding, with a Black Cat Thunderbolt Rocket lodged inside him, when they attended the scene in Sunderland."
^Both articles say "fired from", but this sounds almost like fired into!
"Mr McDougal added: "Potentially it could have been a fatal incident. "There's a lot of major blood vessels round that area, so infection would probably be a huge problem for him.
"And also the body naturally produces methane gas, so combine that with the firework and the exploding effect with methane's flammability - it certainly could have been a lot worse than it really was.""
from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/e...ar/6132140.stm

Oh, Sputnik, I am still amazed almost daily...
When this dumb ass has to empty a colostomy bag for the rest of his life, I hope he stops one day and thinks, "now why the hell did I ever do that?"

I think the operative word there is "drunken". Alcohol usually makes one talk out of one's butt, but most stop there......

I have never understood stood how/why hetero men (homophobic even) are so fascinated with their assholes and its myriad functions. They're always laughing about farting, triple ringers, whatever...

Yeah this story really pisses me off. My mom just got out of the hospital on Monday after having her colonectomy (sp?) reversed. She had to wear a colostomy bag for the past year because of an infection in her bowel. It was the worst year of her life, and thank God she was able to have it reversed; many can't. Now this idiot, because of his stupidity, may end up having one of those damn bags, possibly for the rest of his life. After seeing what my mother went through, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. It's quite a price to pay for a stupid trick.
