Some people are just too darn stupid to be allowed on the water.

Among them:

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (March 8) - Attempts to duplicate a movie stunt
landed one man in the hospital with burned genitals and another facing
criminal charges.

The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the "Jackass" movies, in
which a character lights his genitals on fire.

Jared W. Anderson, 20, suffered serious burns to his hands and
genitals, according to the criminal complaint. Randell D. Peterson,
43, who sprayed lighter fluid on Anderson and lit him on fire, was
charged with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment
Tuesday in Eau Claire County Court.

Witnesses told police that Anderson, who was drunk, volunteered to do
the stunt Sunday after watching the movie, the complaint said.

After Peterson ignited Anderson, he ran into the bathroom, jumped into
the tub and put the flames out, according to the complaint. He was
taken to Luther Hospital, and eventually treated at the Regions
Hospital Burn Unit in St. Paul, Minn., for second-degree burns.

Anderson told police that he didn't want anyone to get in trouble
because of the stunt.

Peterson was freed on a $2,000 bond. He has a hearing scheduled April
16. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

No seat belt on the guy who crossed the median. Troopers on TV this morning
said his estimated speed was 65 mph. Notice the white road in the picture.
