I, too, am amused.
Perfect ground zero site for a low-yield nuke blast.
Love the Quiznos commercial parodying this pagan festival. The organizers hated it so much they wanted to sue Quiznos, but could not because it is a parody.

From what I understand the commercial is pretty close to the truth about BM.
GAAAAAAH. The STUPID. It BURNS.
The Hippies want their Freak Show back
You have to root for the intolerant Utopian fundies (fundamentalist burners) on this one for sure! lol
Further proof that utopia is impossible to achieve. Human nature trumps all.
I thought this all started because some guy’s girl friend broke up with him?
Closest I get to a freak show is Renfest.
I don’t believe camps with “staff” should be allowed as long as tickets are limited.
Keeping staff (which all need tickets) takes away tickets and raises prices for actual participants.
BM isn’t a festival where you sit on your ass and watch a prepared show. The idea is EVERYONE IS THE SHOW. And it was amazing when most people did that.
I used to go every year but haven’t been for a while. Seems like it really went downhill since it became mainstream and they maxed out tickets
I used to be able to walk the entire festival barefoot and not see a single piece of trash. I never locked up anything and didn’t even hear of a single theft.
Last time I went it was too filthy to walk 1 block barefoot. Multiple things were stolen from our camp and several vendors screwed us. I practically cried about how much it changed since the vultures arrived
I would like to offer this up as an example of Political Correctness.
The self-proclaimed “purists” wanted to purge the group they deemed not to be in keeping with the original intent, God only knowing what that would have been.
So now the “purists” feel justified in purging the group they don’t like.
This is political correctness run amuck. It’s another Leftist trait.
The PC movement was very strong in the Hitler years prior to him becoming Chancellor.
The brown shirts and the SS followed along behind, bringing that PC movement to it’s pinnacle.
The PC movement in the U. S. is just as strong now, as it was in the Hitler years. The Black Lives matter group is a prime example. Those who supposedly harm blacks (pure imagination) are fair game.
This type of thing is a very clear and disturbing warning sign about what is on the horizon.
If Hillary Clinton is elected, this sort of thing will not only grow, but will be mainstreamed more than it has been to this point.
Under Trump, it will cease as he refuses to feed into it.
“...and glued our trailer doors shut.”
Next year, guards for the uber rich will be armed.
Better yet...build a wall.
Burners were all over I80. You could spot them by everything,. everything being covered in gray dust that was once mud.
I'm baffled how anyone could call that a good time.
I'm cool with that. See here:
I was talking to the nephews of a very old friend last year. They live near San Francisco and I told them of my first and probably last visit there. “Way too crowded for me, I hate large crowds.”
“The absolute best time to visit San Francisco” one said “is during the Burning Man festival. It’s like a ghost town.” I LOL’ed! This was coming from a 12 year old and I have a strong suspicion he is rebelling against his parents full blown leftism.
“It’s unbelievable that there are angry people here.”
Liberalism bites liberals in the ass. Who’da thunk?
The beginning of the end of Burning Man. It is only a matter of time now.
