This Girl is On FIRE!

Instructive.

Could be a good public safety film. How did it end?
 
Strange. A lot of people in the comments seem to find this funny. I find it rather alarming and somewhat troubling. The large number of problems at the beginning (candles and flammables, handstands on doors...) are sadly compounded by the fact that despite there being two people in the room, screaming and panic take the place of action leading to a far nastier burn that was necessary. On the other hand, she was lucky not to be seriously injured by the glass table.
 
That explains a) the cut at the end, b) why someone would post it.
 
a writer at Slate is upset over Jimmy Kimmel's Twerk-FAIL prank.

Kimmel’s prank is not a biting satire, nor is it a mirror to our stupid culture. It’s a hostile, self-promoting act—a covert ad for Jimmy Kimmel Live—rendered as ironic acid that corrodes our sense of wonder. If the Web provides a cabinet of curiosities, full of freakish baubles of humanity, the hoaxer smashes it to bits, then counts his money while he preens atop the rubble.
