Man sets himself on fire in political protest
The Over Reliance on Spellcheck gaffe o'the day:

A day after the Kern High School District board of directors voted to rename winter and spring break as Christmas and Easter break, a man set himself on fire in front of the Liberty Bell on Truxtun Avenue in apparent protest.

He carried a sign saying, "(explicative) KHSD," according to a Kern County Sheriff's Deputy at the scene.

*sigh*

Oh, and whaddamaroon:

The man, who was not immediately identified, used flammable liquid to set himself, a Christmas tree and an American flag on fire just before 3:30 p.m. today. He was quickly extinguished by deputies working in the court, according to Bakersfield Fire Department Captain Garth Milam.

The man was transported to a hospital with minor burns to his shoulders and arms. In route to the hospital, he made some sort of reference to religion and its destructive effects, Milam said.

*rolls eyes*
