Bah. Poser. Buddhist monks were doing it before it was cool.
Edit: Oh my God, this comment is so fucking win. "Why didn't he just buy bread instead of gasoline?"

Both of those statements are exactly what I thought. Though I do wish people like this wouldn't set themselves on fire, though if this form of protest caught on with fundies I would not complain.

I don't even understand it. Sure, it's a remarkable display of dedecation to a cause, but all it accomplishes is eliminating a malcontent to deal with.

It probably helped that the revolters chose to do something OTHER than set themselves on fire.
