Darwin award candidates if ever I saw them.

A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17
This is the bit that really gets me. By that age you'd assume that they have at least had the basics of not playing with petrol down pat, even if they don't understand why.

The thing is... it was quite a clever plan, and I'm sure it looked really cool.

Where they went wrong was trying the "really cool" idea out.

They did manage to film it. The police have the tape.

"Two Colorado youths..." or something and now you're talking.
