[vivfox]

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - Two practical jokers are behind bars for setting their passed-out drinking buddy's crotch ablaze while boozing in Grover Beach. Matthew Craig Pillers and Jack Brent Nicholas Keiffer pleaded no contest to a felony great bodily injury charge.

Prosecutors say the 22-year-old Pillers, a parolee, was sentenced to two years in prison and the 19-year-old Keiffer got 45 days in San Luis Obispo County jail.

Elliot Tuleja was passed out when the men poured cologne on the man's groin and set him on fire on Jan. 18. Tuleja had second-degree burns on his testicles.

I wonder if the guy had red hair?

I'm not sure I want to live in a country where something like this is illegal. I mean, it's just good ole redneck fun! It sounds like a Jeff Foxworthy joke. "If you ever got so drunk that your friends set your crotch on fire, you might be a redneck." I think a felony charge is a little ridiculous for something like this.

I was thinking of several songs that would be apprpriate to play to this, and I think Firehouse by Kiss would be right on the mark.
