Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury

SaleNowOn writes "Rather than use expensive cgi techniques to make the light sabres glow for their home movie. This couple instead used fluorescent tubes filled with petrol. Which they then set alight. If they don't survive they must be Future Darwin Award winners. It makes me proud to be British." And me embarassed to be a Star Wars geek.

    People should know that someone going to work as a civilian contractor in Iraq runs the risk of kidnap and decapitation by terrorists.

    That does not mean that it is funny when it happens.

    There is a difference between someone pulling the trigger and an inanimate object [that is not stable] causing harm. Those raghead backwards smacktards don't have to pull the trigger. A tube of gasoline exposed to a heat source MUST ignite [well ... WILL ignite].

    That's like saying "don't live in LA, there is violence so if you live there you deserve to die". Granted, I wouldn't go there myself because of the violence it doesn't mean they "deserve" it.

    These people were doing something that a reasonably intelligent adult human would know isn't safe. They deserve every bit of pain they get from it.

    What's more tragic? That they got hurt, or that people like that make it to adulthood to begin with?

    No, not quite. Two absolute fucking retards are seriously injured.

    Let's examine the possible benefits :

    1. Assuming that they are both seriously mutilated, the chances of them ever reproducing are massively decreased. This means that their retard genes will not be passed on to their offspring. Let's face it, if they have children they'll end up doing something similar in years to come. So their removal from the gene pool will actually decrease the chances of more injury, pain and horrific deaths in the future. Are you saying that would be a bad thing?

    2. If they can do this to themselves, you can bet they'd do something equally horrific to innocent bystanders in the future, if given the chance. How would you like it if these fucktards ran over a member of your family while driving at 150mph on crack?

    The fact is that natural selection is no longer allowed to act on the human race to it's proper extent. We're looking at a future of gradual deterioration - devolution if you will.

    We should celebrate events like this.

    You're welcome to the richly spiritual Dark Ages...I (and I suspect almost all Slashdot Readers) vastly do prefer "the Enlightenment", a period in history when the leading thinkers believed that human reason could be used to combat ignorance, superstition, and tyranny and to build a better world. Their principal targets were religion (embodied in the Catholic Church) and the domination of society by a hereditary aristocracy. P.S. you're an idiot.
