Remember the good old days, where people did stupid stuff in the privacy of their homes?

Came out today that this was indeed a hoax. Apparently in the full length video Jimmy Kimmel comes in and puts out the fire.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

That's great news. I don't wish burning and permanent scars on anyone.

The fall from to door opening is what gave it away for me, the timing seemed off and once I watched the video again, you can see her push off the door with her foot. Not to mention how quickly she caught on fire and her reaction, just seemed off to me.

The funny part is how quickly it went viral. Jimmy said he didn't promote it in any way, just uploaded it to youtube with the title and let it go. Even he said he was impressed with how fast it hit the talk shows, news, interwebs, etc.

Does it make me a bad person if I laughed at that?

NO! I am not a bad person and I laughed at it. You laughed at it therefore you are not a bad person.

How's that for twisted logic?

I was there when they did it. But I couldn't say or post anything about it. Jimmy Kimmel is one of my shows.

Ha! I laughed with the same gusto as when I watch a matador getting gored.

Nobody got hurt in the least. Pyrogel and a thin layer of nomex in the panties. Isopropyl alcohol burns relatively cool.
