Description:

Italian fathers' rights activist Nicola De Martino unsuccessfully tries to immolate himself on live TV!

Not a word I see often, so here's the definition:

immolate \IM-uh-layt\, transitive verb:
1. To sacrifice; to offer in sacrifice; to kill as a sacrificial victim.
2. To kill or destroy, often by fire.

Yeah, yeah, perhaps the woman knew this guy was dangerous, before she ditched, women tend to protect their chldren from assholes-This jerk is a danger to his son, melodramatic Italian, taking his particular self-hatred, to the telly...he most likely, would not have done it-they let the moron sit back down, for chrissakes!!

Suicide attempt? Just in time for Christmas! [cold black humour, in the spirit of Moe the Bartender]

Good fast work on the part of the production crew. "Scusatti" (sp?) is heard at the end - sounds like he's apologizing(?!?), which is sort of amusing.

>>> Women also tend to breed with a lot of assholes, creating more assholes. It's evolution in action: a jerk is willing to lie, steal and kill for himself, so esteem-free women conclude he will do the same for her and offspring.

This jerk is a danger to his son, melodramatic Italian, taking his particular self-hatred, to the telly...he most likely, would not have done it-they let the moron sit back down, for chrissakes!!

>>> Awful lot of ssumptions being made, which is fine since this is the internet and no one reads comments or cares.

>>> Ponytailiano never got his day in court, so no one really knows who is at fault. Pony's mental anguish seems real enough, even if that was Scope mouthwash he poured on himself.

>>> Kids will always need fathers, that is, real men; not the feminized clown-idiot-wigger-wimp-loser-breeder stereotype that passes for a father figure these days.
