Protest against same-sex marriage goes terribly wrong.

[reflection]

Sorry if duplicate - I searched and didn't see this covered. Too good not to share.

Cliff note version: Man sets box of Cheerios on fire to protest General Mills' stance on same-sex marriage, forgets there is a plastic bag inside the box, hilarity ensues.

My favorite part is the comment below:
As a criminal defense attorney, I recommend against filming your arson.

1. Who knew Chuck Norris and Rick Warren had a secret, dull-witted love child?

on the epic fail protest!

[reflection]

2. Sorry about the 'embedding disabled..' thing

I may have screwed something up. All in all, though, quite funny.

5. The laughter from the camera person was the best part.

What you want to bet they're the person who posted the video?

6. Oh, that was ridiculous. Run, run away!

7. Do you think this might have been a put-on?

People aren't really this stupid, are they?

9. check the other videos on the channel..

That would be too much "work" for some people


We'll just wait till it gets to 114 posts till somebody figures it out

11. I don't understand what you're talking about

I don't see any "channel" or any other "videos." I guess I was out the day they covered that.

On edit: Found other videos by him. Still can't figure out whether he's serious or an Onion type guy.

13. Darn. Looks like you're right. n/t

Curse you, satire!

8. I get "Embedding disabled by request, Watch on YouTube"

Do you have a link?
Thanks,

14. The link is cleverly embedded as the "Watch on YouTube" text. (nt)

10. This guy has a whole channel full of fun!

Highly recommend everyone look at his YouTube videos. What a freak.

One of his greatest hits:

15. Jesus fucking christ, what a goddamn idiot. nt

12. The stupid... it burns (!)

A guy in a pink shirt with man boobs nearly sets himself on fire in a reverse boycott of the product he has a bogus issue.

Maybe he was going for self-immolation?

16. Update: I dunno, the guy may be for real

I was previously convinced that he was engaging in a clever comedy stunt. Now I'm not so sure.
