They're burning something for which they already paid. Do they not get the irony in that?
"Hey! Let's go buy a box of her books and burn them! That'll show her!"

Robbie Coltrane is one of the few cast members that stood up for her. The others have gone with the crowd.

And the irony is lost on them! They claim to be anti-fascist and that is EXACTLY what they are!

Saw a great documentary about shock rock yesterday. They loved when they were targeted for record burnings. You know why? Cause you gotta buy it burn it.

That looks like something I would have turned in in high school.
I had a desk next to the teacher every single year I went to school.

The last book burning on this scale was when four lads from Liverpool, England led by a boy named John didnt love Jesus Christ enough.
In the summer of 1966, Ron Nasty was widely quoted by saying that the Rutles were bigger than God. He went on to say that God had never gotten a hit record.
In response to this, many fans burnt their albums, many more burnt their fingers trying to burn their albums. Album sales skyrocketed, as people began to buy the albums, simply to burn them.
It would later turn out that it was all a great misunderstanding. Nasty, whilst talking to a slightly deaf journalist, stated that the Rutles were bigger than Rod Stewart, who would not be big for another eight years.
In an interview on the subject, Ron stated that this proved that "[we're] all daft-- I'll probably get in trouble for that now." Nasty apologised to God and Rod to these statements.
