This clip of an anti EU protestor attempting to burn an EU flag has gone viral AND is hilarious.

This has really hit a nerve: here’s a version with 23,000+ RTs – there’s also another kicking around with 13k or so.

Man tries to burn EU flag, can't burn it because of EU directive on flammable materials pic.twitter.com/PkxicDABXC — Felicity Morse (@FelicityMorse) May 31, 2016

Felicity writes, “it burns *eventually* – along boring five minutes of watching something trying to catch fire against a wooden door.”

So hooray for the EU!

And also hooray for people being stupider than you, for without that, there would be very little comedy.

Although as AnAuthoritativePanda on Reddit points out, “Why would you publish the video if it was such a failure? Stupidity has no bounds.”
