BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese bride burnt her new husband to death after he got into bed after a drunken argument without washing his feet, state media reported on Wednesday.

"Wang and his wife, Luo, were married on February 2. The couple, however, frequently fought over trivial things while still on their honeymoon," the official Xinhua news agency quoted a local newspaper as saying.

The couple, from the central province of Hubei, had another fight on the night of March 4, "and in frustration they together drank a bottle of liquor to ease their anger".

"At about 10 p.m., Luo watched her husband get into bed without cleaning or washing his feet. In a fit of anger and intoxication, she set fire to the sheet he was sleeping in," the report said.

"When he awoke, the two began fighting before a very drunk Wang collapsed. As fire engulfed the bedroom. Luo escaped to the living room, leaving her other half to burn," it added.

The woman has been arrested, Xinhua said.

Hmm... I'm confused as to how a drunk man being burned alive by his drunk wife can be in any way funny... Oh, wait now I get it.

Anyway, it's terrible. I don't know much about living conditions in China, but it sounds to me like yet another sympton of yet another frustrated, angry culture. That and the most voltile of relationships, obviously.

And yeah, whoever said they 'drank a bottle of liquor to ease their anger' should burnt alive themselves... After getting supremely drunk, that is.

I've seen worse things. Like this (WARNING: IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH DO NOT CLICK THE LINK, THIS IS NOT A JOKE). Then again, the world is a cruel and sick place; the human world anyways. That's still blowing things our of proportion though. And what kind of person thinks that drinking will rid themselves of anger?

Actually, I believe this is an urban legend, according to Snopes.com.
