It's fake. The stake would have fallen out when he lit it.
And if it is real, the stake would have been partially destroyed, and any significant fragments sent off in random directions. So at worst, he got some really nasty splinters.

Opera!!

I bet that mother fucker wouldn't be OMGing and loling when he walked up to a guy with a 2" wooden spike in his skull.

If this is real, I hope he died. If it's fake, I hope they both died.
LOL

whatever
