EAU CLAIRE, Wis. - A Wisconsin man was hospitalized with burns on his genitals and another man was in jail in what authorities say was a night of drinking and a stunt gone wrong. Prosecutors said Jared Anderson, 20, and Randell Peterson, 43, were drinking and watching a movie when Anderson was inspired to light his genitals aflame, WEAU-TV reported. "People that were there said that after he saw the movie he told people that he wanted to do this -- light his genitals and he proceeded to enlist Mr. Peterson's help in doing so," Eau Claire County Assistant District Attorney Mike Steuer said on WEAU. A criminal complaint said Peterson sprayed Anderson's genitals with lighter fluid and tried to light it on fire. When that didn't work, they tried again. The second time, it worked but Anderson's hands and clothing also caught fire, WEAU reported. Steur said Anderson claimed later he didn't want to be lit on fire and was attacked, WEAU reported.
