What is Wrong with this picture?

It is classical conservative quote and I wonder what is wrong with it. I have my own opinion but I would like to hear from other DUers on it.

Dumb guy lights fireworks on the head and ends up dead

Some people are dunces with fireworks and this example cost this man his life

"A young man who was drinking and celebrating the Fourth of July tried to launch a firework off the top of his head, fatally injuring himself, authorities said Sunday.

Devon Staples and his friends had been drinking and setting off fireworks Saturday night in the backyard of a friend's home in the small eastern Maine city of Calais, said Stephen McCausland, a spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety. Staples, 22, of Calais, placed a fireworks mortar tube on his head and set it off, he said.

The firework exploded, killing Staples instantly, McCausland said.

His death is the first fireworks fatality in Maine since the state legalized fireworks on Jan. 1, 2012, authorities said.

This is one of the 10,000 ways to die and note that when you are drunk, you should not be lighting fireworks on your head.
