It seemed like a good idea at the time. All it would take to make a huge and rather entertaining fireball was $10 and a trip to the supermarket. \
The plan was to take two cans of the popular -- and highly flammable -- deodorant, Axe body spray, drop them in a bucket with lighter fluid and fireworks and enjoy the show -- a so-called "Axe bomb."
Rather than the pyrotechnic display he had hoped for, Cyrus, a 17-year-old high school junior from San Diego, saw instead the inside of a police cruiser and then the inside of a courtroom.
"The fire got really big. We tried to put it out and that's when the police came," said Cyrus, using only his first name because he is a minor. "We tried to run away, but the cops caught us. I went to court, got six months probation, 40 hours of community service and a 6 p.m. curfew.
"I'm 17 and I have a probation officer," he said while volunteering at the Burn Institute, a California-based health agency dedicated to reducing the number of burn injuries.

WTF is wrong with kids today. It's like they are only interested in looking for shit to do. First I can't even get regular Cough medicin at CVS because they have to keep i behind the counter because of teens abusing it. Now this crap. Then the Internet they have to much time on their hands. Parents need to start supervising their kids. Make them do home work, read, get some freaking values!
