I Guess This Is Because We Don't Give Out 'Stupidity Awards'..?

Connor, of Houghton-le-Spring, now fronts a fire safety campaign in the North East and has been presented with bravery awards.
Gosh! What did he do? Rush into a burning orphanage to rescue some winsome moppets?

It must have been something like that, right?
Connor Rowntree, now 18, was playing with the aerosol at friend’s home near Newcastle in 2009 when he was engulfed in flames.
He spent nearly a year fighting for his life in hospital and has undergone over 100 reconstructive operations.
I...

I just...

Oh, and no, it wasn't just the aerosol:
His accident happened in May 2009 when Connor, then 15, was engulfed in flames while playing with petrol and aerosols at a friend’s house.

    The /facepalm label should, on this occasion, be /napalm

    The "mother" claims she's speaking out because a completely unrelated, totally different child altoget... an innocent 10 year old... was set upon by feral creatures who tried to burn another child alive....yet the majority of the article is "devoted" to her braindead spawn who set himself on fire.

    It's all ME ME ME with some people, innit.

    There isn't even a comment from her asking for people to help with the investigation into the other kid. Vile woman. :/

    "when Connor, then 15, was engulfed in flames while playing with petrol and aerosols at a friend’s house."

    Natural selection.

    Darwin wins.

    Watch the feature in Julia's link, there are no subtitles so it could be hard going! Bonus points for the tattooed arms - and I don't just mean the father.

    I guess the Biffa Bacon family didn't just have a dog that went 'woof'.

    Heh!

    "....yet the majority of the article is "devoted" to her braindead spawn who set himself on fire.

    Yup :(

    "Natural selection.

    Technically, only if he'd burnt his gonads to a crisp...

    "I guess the Biffa Bacon family didn't just have a dog that went 'woof'."

    I know. Good god, does no-one think any more?

    "Wayne, Darren, Tyrone, Dwayne...and now Connor. It will be Loser next."

    A good bet!
