God, these people are idiots. If Occupy protesters had done this people would be sitting in jail right now and FOX News would be running this video in an endless loop.

1. That's hilarious!

Dumbass sets fire to a box of Cheerios, which he describes as the treat of homosexuals; then the fire gets away from him onto the lawn, and he yells "Get in the car!"

[jayschool]

2. "Quick, get in the car"

What happened to personal responsibility?

[MindMover]

3. Like we are gonna torch ....

Yeah right, We .... I saw one jerkus amerkus .... and one silly ass person giggling .... and he is lucky he didn't catch his sorry ass self on fire .... now that would be some protest, like the monks do it, self immolate.....

[xtraxritical]

4. Did I miss something about Cheerios? Are they another Chick Fil A?

[Bjorn Against]

5. They are on the opposite side of Chic-Fil-A

General Mills recently spoke out in favor of same sex marriage and encouraged people to vote no on a statewide Constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage in Minnesota.

6. There are several threads on this and the consensus is that this was staged.

Just several people's opinions. When I saw it I thought it was fake, too. I mean, if they were real and angry, all that laughing wouldn't take place. IMHO, that is. Still silly whether it's real or not.

9. the guy has other videos where he rants

he is lucky he didn't set his ironically pink shirt on fire.

Not staged

[WhoIsNumberNone]

11. Got any links?

The only other video on this channel is an extended cut of the same vid:

Although it does support my theory that if it's not staged (as I have been suggesting it is) that the people filming are his kids, and they've posted it as a prank on dopey ol' dad.

7. and what ... Chik Fil A had ONE video of some a*hole

cussing out a drive-thru employee???

[jerseyjack]

8. --- looks like the asshole burned his finger trying to pick up the flaming container.

It's funny, until someone gets hurt.

-------------then its hilarious.

I think this is hilarious.

10. expose them

[JHB]

12. Back in college my friends coined the word "awesomestupid"...

...and I'm amazed at how often it's really been the only word to properly capture a moment and describe it. Like this.

That was just awesomestupid.

[agentS]

13. Is this from the Onion???

I'm having trouble thinking it's real! It's like something you see on Failblog videos!
Didn't he realize that the torch would ignite the CARDBOARD box?

[AsahinaKimi]

14. So...he set it on fire?

Why didn't he just shoot the box full of holes, isn't that what any normal idiot tea bagger would have done?

lame brain idiots. Neboken Ja Neyo. sonna baka na!

[progressoid]

Man Who Set Fire To Cheerios Box On General Mills’s Lawn Dies

Michael Leisner, who botched an attempt to burn a box of cereal on the lawn of General Mills, has died of a heart attack.

Leisner posted video of his act online, with it showing him scrambling to stomp out the flames before he hurriedly instructs his off-camera friends to get in the car. The video made its way onto cable television’s “The Daily Show” and “Chelsea Lately.”

Leisner died Saturday while waiting in his car for his sons to finish playing tennis, said Dwight Denyes, senior pastor at Emmanuel Christian Center in Spring Lake Park.
