A jilted woman who sought to end her life by dousing herself in petrol and immolating herself publicly was foiled when she neglected to bring a lighter.
She was surprised to find nobody would do her the favor of lending her a lighter, instead calling police to restrain her.
The woman, who had been recently fallen out with her boyfriend, went to the front of Taipei’s World Trade Center building in order to set herself on fire, and thus publicly commit suicide.
After liberally pouring petrol over herself, the woman searched her handbag only to discover that she had forgotten to bring either matches or a lighter, meaning her self-immolation was temporarily scotched.
Undeterred in her pursuit of a dramatic end, the woman, presumably still wet and reeking of gasoline, entered the parking lot of the trade center to ask the guard for a lighter.
The guard, who could not help but be immediately suspicious of the woman’s intentions, called the police instead.
After confessing to the police that she had become distraught when her boyfriend dumped her, the police allowed the troubled woman to leave with her family.

She might have had better luck with Japanese police…

"She was surprised to find nobody would do her the favor of lending her a lighter, instead calling police to restrain her."
Harsh world.
indeed --
no one wants to help her -- BURN HERSELF >.>
wouldn't that make you an accomplice if you lend her one?
I'd hand her a vibrator.
At least that will let her forget her worries, until the batteries run out.
Better buy one that isn't MADE IN CHINA
or until it short-cicuit...
Its not that people didn't want to see her burn alive, its that they didn't want to be raped by authorities.
Or maybe it's just me.
Well, friction generations heat. And enough heat can start a fire. I guess I will just have to rub myself against her body fast and long enough to "fire her up". Now where can I find any ladies who wants to immolate herself?
Delicious cake for Artefact for the title. Astonishing!
The Full Monty comes to mind.
"People are pricks. I asked this guy to take his air compressor and drill me with a six-inch nail right through the eye..."
"What'd he say?"
"I'm low on nails."
"People are selfish pricks."
Burning to death is pretty painful. I'm sure there was a much more convenient way of committing suicide.
but other ways is not grand and not attracting other people...
I honestly expected some firebat SC jokes. lo and behold...none.
Fire it up! Is somethin burning? guess not...
Double stupidity.
She should have asked the police instead.. it would have been successful..
She could've tried harder. Banging rocks together for a spark or rubbing two sticks together are other methods of creating fire. Some people just don't want to put forth the extra effort.
Well, it looks like Kev here is the only intelligent person to post something accurate and not random bullshit.
what a dumbass, death by fire, huh. she would regret it the second she lit the flame...
cool pic..poor girl..if shes cute..ill be her next bf ;D and taiwan is taiwan..own government..yes its under china now,coverly and namely only..bt still own government and political and economicaly like hong kong..usa is us nothing else..engalnd is england..so wat the hell is usa is under britain colony..yes its true..bt its long time ago!now its totally diff,seperated..history must combined with geography..than its ok..if theres a mistake with my statement please reply it properly..if ur an educated person :)
Epic fail indeed
loool.
She needs Yamamoto's zanpaktou -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXbyR0mTuGQ
She should learn how to make fire using rocks
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno!
Need a light? Lets Burnnn..
"I believe, that what doesn't kill you, simply makes you.... stranger... " >:)
Wanna turn up the heat?
What kind of world do we live in were no one will lend a simple lighter to someone, god, it sickens me >__>
Oh a more positive note, I read this entire article while listening to the Kugimiya canyon, and couldnt help but laughing my ass of at almost every 3rd word XD
true.
Doing it right now.
Now I find the Article to be damn cute.
This is the guard of the building. I want to apologize for not helping that lady out but i was suspicious of her intentions. I thought she would try to put the building in fire. If she had explained her intentions to me sooner i would have gladly help her out.
where mah bitches?
hahaha this is so lol.. spare a light anyone?? xD
Love come and goes ,you live once not worth taking life.Poor fool.
she believe she will reborn in next life...
bitch can't do nothing right
no...
bitch can burn their self and everything around her and put blame on you...
I would have helped her out. Poor dear, is no one courteous anymore?
and gotten the splash damage? Think of the chain nuclear reaction, man!
I'd pass it to her. And don't say man, lol. Ichiou, onna no ko nan desu kara~ ^^;
Women's handbags are always in such a mess that they can never find anything they need at the moment, be it car keys or matches...
"anyone got a Light?"
damn it not the light i was looking for...
"Female Human Torch" FLAME ON!
she should ask the guard cigarette first then a lighter second...
she also should be charge try to burning World Trade Center building to other than try to commit suicide...
Attention whore
Pretty much.
says someone who's never had a girlfriend, much less a heartbreak before..
Stereotype much lately?
No need to take your frustrations out on otaku, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would have happily provided you with a lighter, were we the focus of this article.
The way you say it you make it sound like crap.
