Darwin Award Winner?

I think so.

Granted, he didn't kill himself, but by the looks of things, he may have effectively removed himself from the gene pool.

I love people. Especially young, drunk people. He must have been intoxicated, right?

That was awesome, thanks for the link. I love how his friends kept laughing in the background, despite the guy being in a very dangerous situation.

I have some pretty crazy friends who do stupid things when they get drunk but I do not think they would ever fire stuff that explodes into their balls.

A teenage girl was discovered dead this weekend, electrocuted after dropping her laptop in the bathtub.

Why did she need a computer in the tub? So she could update Twitter. About what she was tweeting remains unclear, but it was hopefully something more meaningful than the soap she was using.

Maria Barbu, 17, of Brasov, Romania, is said to have been plugging her laptop into wall current at the time, after "the battery died during a long session on social networking site Twitter as she took a soak."

Twitter kills. I've been saying it for ages, and finally we're getting the media to recognize this.

And the best part of that video was his delayed reaction, and the way the firework basically tried to anal rape him. When that failed, it decided it couldn't live without this man, and tried to destroy them both. The symbolism of love and relationships is a powerful one.

Sigged. It may be a long one, but totally worth it.

Oh holy crap...I know this is terrible, but towards the end, I couldn't help but snicker as his crotch started to catch fire.

Anyone who watches that, it's pretty apparent he dies, so I'd say you're warned. It's not graphic, but it is gruesome.

I'm pretty sure he was up there with the intent of committing suicide, not exactly Darwin worthy.

Yeah, it's a pretty common occurrence here on planet Earth. It happens to thousands of people every day.

Which IMO makes it even funnier "Guy threatening to commit suicide accidentally electrocutes himself"

I think this is pretty much the real howler of the lot. There's a fine line between laughing at stupidity and LIKING HOW SOMEONE'S MOTHERFUCKING HEAD CONTINUES TO BURN AS HE LIES DEAD.

Just sayin'.

It's objectively better than liking how someone's head burns while they're still alive.

Have you seen those "Flaming Shot" videos on Break? You can't not laugh at the stupidity.
