Sparked

Don't tase me, bro! No, seriously! DO NOT fucking ta--AIIIIGGGGHHH!!

A man whose relatives say had been sniffing gasoline burst into flames after a police officer Tasered him as he ran at officials carrying a container of fuel, police said Tuesday.

In the immortal words of Eddie Murphy, "Now thatsa fire!" (I left out the "motherfuckin'" in consideration of our more sensitive readers.) Uh... aw, crap.

Anyway, this gasoline sniffing thing appears to be a family activity:

Two others at the house were charged with possessing a sniffing substance.

Mitchell's sister [said] that her brother had been sniffing gasoline and that when he ran out of the house he was carrying a lighter and an orange juice container full of gasoline.

Ok, it's weird enough that there's a whole houseful of gas-huffers, (and I thought drinking Sterno was bizarre), but what possible purpose could the lighter serve? That's like playing Russian roulette... with a claymore mine.
