A man has suffered severe internal injuries after trying to launch a powerful firework from his bottom on bonfire night, it emerged today.

It was thought that the 22-year-old was trying to copy a scene from the 2002 film Jackass: The Movie, which has long been condemned by safety campaigners and blamed for inspiring dangerous pranks.

The man is reported to have got down on all fours, lowered his trousers and fixed a Black Cat Thunderbolt rocket to himself in front of a group of friends at the end of a firework display in the Monkwearmouth area of Sunderland on Sunday.


Scorched Colon...Ouch... He knows what the GOP feels like right now...

6. How is it that women never do these stupid things?
OK, sure, women do do stupid things, but really.
