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.
It's a simple decision -- Spend some time in a burn unit knowing that IF you make it out you'll be covered in disfiguring scars. Or admit you lined up to see the steaming pint of piss known as RoTS.
Now where did I put that flourescent tube?
But it is vitally important that they give him a vasectomy and tie her tubes while they're still in the hospital, to insure that under no circumstances these two are able to reproduce. Although it sounds like they're well on the way to killing themselves or being so unattractive to the opposite sex that there's no way they'll ever get laid, we can't leave things like this to chance!
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
Fuck you zealot. I'll call it whatever I want. Given that I'm a linux/gnu/amd64 user I don't care what ***MAC*** users call themselves ;-)

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
First sign of a lazy parent: blame the kid
Second sign of a lazy parent: substitute talk for action
Third sign of a lazy parent: poor expectations in assuming that the previous signs are going to be effective parenting skills.
Moral of this particular story: actually physically stop your kid from chewing on a glowstick. There's glass in many of them--the part that goes "crunch" when they are broken to start the glowing.
This isn't even funny, there are people who have REAL accidents and REALLY need specialist burns units and now 2 people might have to suffer because two fucking idiot retards who Darwin intended to die, are now wasting these beds with their fucking waste of space retarded sacks of shit. In what possible scenario does fluorescent tube lighting and petrol become an even semi safe idea? Please someone tell me what these people were trying to do that 'would' have been relatively safe had it not been of some totally random spark, bolt of lightning or cow farting next to a naked flame pointed in their general direction, because i fail to see how you can unite these two objects in any sane way.

Only if I feel like an elitist asshole who thinks his shit doesn't stink.
Yeah, you're right. Elitism is bad mmkay?
Let's encourage the stupid and mediocre and help to build a dull new tomorrow.
I've never fought with flaming flourescent tubes, but I have done stuff that by all rights should have earned me a maming.
So you've done things that would, with absolute inevitability, lead to your injury or death? At an age when you should know better? And involved other people?
If you did get mamed doing them, would you expect sympathy? If the answer is yes, I suggest that you keep on doing them.
