Definitely Toss: Not Amusing
Thanks, but it didn't seem to be an accident - rather than setting it alight with his cigarette, he set it alight with a lighter - I suspect he was going to commit arson with it

While not outright amusing I do think this guy got what he deserved. Carrying around a open container of highly flammable liquid (and one that appears to almost be overflowing) and lighting it in an enclosed space like that is the height of idiocy, and definitely the behavior of a future Darwin Award winner as far as I'm concerned. Thanks, Carlos.
