Burn Trials- Out of the Maze and into the Playa
Posted on 09/13/2015 5:00:46 AM PDT by SkyPilot
The toasted sandwich company published a parody video, “Out of the Maze and into the Playa,” on YouTube earlier this week, a day after the weeklong utopian arts celebration in Northern Nevada’s Black Rock Desert concluded on Monday. The plot sends the characters of the “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials,” a not-so-well reviewed science fiction thriller to be released later this month, to Burning Man as a test of character.
“Welcome to Burning Man. The world outside is hanging on by a very thin, non-GMO, cruelty-free, organic hemp thread. Beyond this tent flap lies the beginning of your new lives as Burners,” a Burner says to the characters at the beginning of the video.
Burning Man takes issue with the clip and is considering legal action, not because of the mockery it makes of the more than 70,000-person annual event but because the video is theft of the event’s intellectual property, according to Burning Man spokesman Jim Graham.

Burn Trials- Out of the Maze and into the Playa
"Cruelty Free" is another PC buzz word. Quiznos rips out all the stops to parody Pagan Political Correctness here.
My husband and I thought it was really funny. Our 21-year-old thought it was serious.
Bingo!
And the 3-year-old said, “That’s a sandwich! I want one!”
You really don't get what PC is, then
Bwahahahahahahaha!!!
The world outside is hanging on by a very thing non-GMO, cruelty free, organic, hemp thread!
Hot hippy chicks. Playa name is Moon pony!
The human car wash. (I want to go thru THAT!)
Looking cool on Instagram.
The rich person’s bucket list! Wild lion hunting expedition!
Freakin’ hilarious!!!
Wimps! You didn’t hear anything from Disney or Lucas over this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asz8Y2cC7qo&feature=iv&src_vid=CBVBHRD5lNU&annotation_id=annotation_301989539
More like a weeklong anarchist orgy and brainless tribute to Woodstock.
The term GMO is PC. As is LGBT a and other pagan PC terms.
LOL!
“My husband and I thought it was really funny. Our 21-year-old thought it was serious.”
Why is it the younger generation just does not have a sense of humor? This commercial was hilarious!
The older actor seemed to be parodying Aidan Gillen who is (in Game of Thrones) in this movie short about Rosetta comet probe titled, “Ambition.”

I had no idea that Quizno’s was this funny!
That's a good question. Some of them take themselves and the media very seriously, while living quite frivolously, all that time on Facebook and playing games.
I'm not familiar with young actors: they all seem to look alike.
This is way better advertising campaign than what that other sandwich chain did (with that pervert they had for a mascot).
OH, that guy. I think I’ve seen him in other commercials.
“Lion hunting” was on the list, too, and I believe “horse breeding” followed Burning Man.
So they're actually advertising Quiznos with their very stupid, no-sense-of-humor lawsuit ramblings.
And they won't win. Parody is absolutely protected free speech and fair use. Intellectual property can't be parodied?
Not just Burning Man, but stupid, man!
Or should I say, stupid, Moon Pony!
