Florida Swimmer Roasted For Looking Like 'Hellboy' After His Horrific Sunburn Inadvertently Goes Viral

Florida Swimmer Roasted For Looking Like 'Hellboy' After His Horrific Sunburn Inadvertently Goes Viral

Move over, Ron Perlman, you've been usurped: There's a new Hellboy in Florida, and he's breaking the internet.

A man who briefly appeared in a news clip about stingrays in St. Petersburg, Florida completely stole the show from the giant fish when his positively incandescent--and frankly horrifying--sunburn upstaged them.


The video, posted by ABC News on July 9, is meant to show a spectacular natural phenomenon: enormous stingrays casually swimming past beachgoers, who don't even notice the stingrays are there.

And it is spectacular--until the 0:18 mark when a glowing red ember in the shape of a man appears in the bottom right corner.

What color would you even call him? Crimson isn't quite right... Magenta? Fuschia?

In any case, the man has surely disintegrated into ashes in the week since ABC first posted the video, but that hasn't stopped the internet from--well, roasting him, not that he needs anything to do with any source of heat whatsoever, ever again for the rest of time.

There were several comparisons to Hellboy, the deep-red, half-demon, half-human character created by Dark Horse Comics in 1993. In addition to comics, Hellboy has been immortalized in three films, two fo them starring Ron Perlman in the title role, and the most recent, in 2019, starring Stranger Things star David Harbour.

And it's tough to argue that the sunburned gent's barrel-chest physique and buffalo-chicken-wing hue do rather favor the classic comic book character.

In any case, the internet's burns have been almost as bad as the sun's for this crispy-fried beachgoer!















Let this serve as a reminder that a bottle of sunblock will run you about $3.00 at your local drugstore. Learn from Hellboy's mistakes!

DOJ Scrambles After Staffer Admits On Video That 'Every Republican' Will Be Redacted From Epstein Files

A Department of Justice (DOJ) Deputy Chief, Joseph Schnitt, was recently caught on hidden camera making statements about the disposition of files related to the DOJ's investigation, indictment, arrest, and plans to indict convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The files would have become part of official court documents had Epstein not died in the custody of the DOJ in August 2019, during the first term of MAGA Republican President—and longtime Epstein friend—Donald Trump.

Tucker Carlson Slammed Over Bonkers Plan To Out Pete Buttigieg As A 'Fake Gay Guy'

Far-right personality Tucker Carlson was criticized for sharing a wild conspiracy theory that former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is actually faking his sexuality for clout within the Democratic Party and announced plans to out him.

Buttigieg has been openly gay for years and is happily married to educator and activist Chasten Buttigieg; they are also parents to two young children. But Carlson nonetheless accused Buttigieg of being a “fake gay guy" during a conversation about President Donald Trump's anti-diversity initiatives with fellow conservative commentator Michael Knowles.
