Since it will be done mostly from home, they’re renaming it
Burning Down the (mom’s) House.

Virtual Event To Be Held

That is the silliest thing I've heard of in a while.

The counter culture screaming in desperation to the cosmos for relevance! But they're just going to simulate it this time.

“A lot of LSD and ecstasy dealers are deeply saddened.”

They’ll just have to sell more at Coachella which has been pushed to October due to MyCarona.

But how will guys get STDs from virtual hippie chicks? After the real event the “man” isn’t the only thing burning.

No, no, no!!!

Clearly this is unconstitutional infringement on the rights of leftist aging hippies and wannabie hippies everywhere by the bad Orange man.

They should appeal and win so they can freely share their hippie germs to their fellow unwashed comrades.


Damned dirty apes hippies united!!
