Viking Funeral?

Hey guys, remember that guy Michael Leisner, who received national attention after video of his failed protest at General Mills went viral when he ignighted a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios on the lawn at the corporation’s headquarters in Golden Valley, Minn., and he was forced to flee the scene when the fire got out of control? Me Neither!, but anyway the lesson today is to grab your fame while you can:

Michael Leisner, the gay marriage opponent who received national attention after video of his failed protest at General Mills went viral, has died, according to police.

The pastor at Leisner’s church in Minnesota told the Smoking Gun that the 65-year-old died of a heart attack in his car on Saturday “while waiting in his car for two of his children to finish playing tennis.”

No word on the funeral plans, but one hopes that it does not include cremation.

    Is it only my imagination, or are the Carnival Fun Ships plying the American gene pool floating a tad higher above the shoals of folly, today?

    That’s just sad, like his video, well that was more like butt f**k stoopid, but still. I don’t want to go out waiting in a car for my kids.

    (yeah, yeah, I want to go out sleeping, not screaming in terror like my kids AFTER I pick them up…)

    Well maybe he was all stressed out about the spectacle he made of himself. At least his marriage is legally recognized and his wife doesn’t have to go to court or fight his other relatives to get the coroner to release the body.

    How do we know he wasn’t engaged in some kind of hanky-panky, solo or otherwise?
