Fire And Icebacks Don't Mix

I'm not sure why they're burning the Icelandic flag - maybe that's some kind of ritual for the Sons of Iceland or something. Anyway drunken scandis, gasoline, and open flames don't really mix. Hilarity and minor burns ensue.

How Bad Is It For Israel? Caroline Glick: Pretty Damn Bad
