Fight back against Corporate presence at BRC
Fight back against Corporate presence at BRC
Seek not to follow in the footsteps of the wise but seek what they sought
That's funny. I have noticed over the past year that I have been involved in the Burner community that Burners love to bitch and complain, however, when it comes to taking any action, interest is lost..... I have seen a lot of action that has been presented from non-burner groups, but very little from inside the community....

Reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman saves the town from hippies. BM was represented, but he was wearing a gay hat.
[The music festival. The digger is dead. Stan approaches the mic]
Stan: Uh, excuse me. Excuse me, can I have your attention please? What are we doing? [the crowd quiets down] It's been nine days! Doesn't it seem like we should accomplish something?
A hippie: We're using the power of rock and roll to change the world! Woo! [the crowd cheers]
Stan: Maybe instead of complaining about corporations being selfish, we should look at ourselves. I mean, is there anything more selfish than doing nothing but getting high and listening to music all day long?
Singer: He's right. It's time for all of us to focus our energy and get this hippie jam into full swing. [the band starts up again. They missed his point entirely. Stan just turns right and walks away]

LOL! People have blacklisted the LLC for charging to get into BM.
Figures. Probably another fucking college hippie expecting everything to be done for him for free. If Gawd wanted there to be an 80' neon man filled with explosives, he'd have miracled our asses one, huh?
The only problem with Burning Man is the jackasses who go to it. Which isn't everybody, but too goddam many.
Word from the last Rainbow Gathering, by the way, is that long after everybody had been digging up the woods to shit in them, they realized that the event was held on sacred indian ground. Eric Cartman was right.
Hippies suck.
The best way to "blacklist" Burning Man, LLC is: DON'T FUCKING GO YA WHINING FUCKING PARASITES. Nobody will miss you, and they won't have to support you, give you drugs, pump your shit... and you can start your own little freeloader hippiefest where you assume all the responsibility and do all the work in order to get blacklisted by other fucktard freeloaders expecting you to entertain them in the middle of bumfuck nowhere for a whole week.
...got my low-income ticket, got a job, sold it at cost to somebody who needed it more than me, and now I'm waiting for my full-price ticket to come in the mail and reading the "corporate blacklist" bullshit about how Burning Man ought to be blacklisted from Burning Man.
