[VIDEO] Idiot Loses Toe After Pulling Butter Prank on… Himself.
Looking for clips all day for clip shows is what I do for a living, and looking for pranks is something I am familiar with. More often than not I see things go wrong rather than right. Fortunately for this guy, the prank failed, but he’s secured himself a viral worthy video. Was it worth it? Doubtful. The price of hospital visits cost more than what you would have gotten paid if that were to have been a success…
SKIP TO 1:35 IN TO SEE THE INJURY AND FOREGO THE BAD ACTING IN THE BEGINNING.
And seeing as the title says a man loses his toe, I think that should be warning enough that the video is graphic.
YouTube: L.a. Beast tries to carry a boat load of birthday presents in a full speed sprint through a butter filled kitchen floor and ends up in the hospital. WARNING: 2 min in you will see exactly why.

Meet the kid with the backward leg
Dailymail - When a doctor presented surgery options to parents of a cancer-stricken boy, one thing was made clear: He had to be able to play baseball again.
Now, Dugan Smith, 13, of Ohio, is pitching and playing first base, thanks to a unique procedure that turned his foot backwards.
It wasn’t a medical mishap or a doctor error – it was a bridge to getting the boy cancer-free and allowing him to keep most of his leg.
All smiles: Dugan Smith’s calf now acts as his thigh, while his ankle has become his knee. Prosthetics do the rest__________________________________________________________________________________
Dugan was 10 when he fell from a tree and fractured his femur.
Recovery: Dugan missed his fifth grade year for additional treatments and chemotherapy
Dr. Joel Mayerson told the Today Show that while undergoing treatment, a softball-sized malignant tumour was discovered in Dugan’s leg that was bleeding and polluting his muscles with cancer.
He was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer that’s extremely rare in children, and Dugan’s parents had a decision to make.
His leg would need to be amputated, and when a doctor presented a surgery that would turn his right foot around to save his leg, they listened.
His mother, Amy Miller said: ‘The pros out-weighed the cons.
‘The only thing that would stop us from doing it would be — well, his foot would be on backwards.’
The surgery involved cutting above and below Dugan’s knee to remove the tumour before flipping and reattaching the lower portion of his leg.
Now, Dugan’s calf is his thigh, and the ankle joint acts as his knee, while the foot is now his ankle. A prosthetic ankle and foot do the rest.
More importantly, he’s cancer-free and playing baseball again.
Back in action: Now 13, Dugan, pitching, is back on his baseball team, where he splits time between the mound and first base___________________________________________________________________________________
His father Dustin Smith said: ‘If we would’ve opted for the one that would’ve looked the most normal, he wouldn’t have been able to do anything but walk.’
Dugan has admitted that the ordeal taught him an extremely valuable lesson.
He said: ‘Never give up, because 90 per cent of it is in your mind.’
