It would be funny if it wasn't so.....okay...it's pretty funny.

Police in Kentucky are looking for a man caught on a surveillance video apparently attempting to torch a barbershop, but instead torching himself. The video shows the man driving up to the building in a minivan, throwing what appears to be a molotov cocktail at the building and getting doused with a splash of burning fluid. The man's pant leg then bursts into flames. He appears to frantically remove his shoe and sock and then returns to his car and drives away.

Police released the video on Monday and are asking for help in identifying the suspect.
