A man tried to put out the Olympic torch with a fire extinguisher in Brazil. To put it gently, it didn’t go according to plan.

Well, captain clueless got what he deserved. Not only did he fail to put the flame out, but he was decked by security and put into a headlock. How did you think that was going to end, Mr. Clueless?
