Burning Man Satirized

Just thought I'd share a link. I'm a birgin, so I can't really assess how near or off the mark the artist comes at various times, but I love seeing references to BM in popular culture 'cause it makes me think of how much I'm looking forward to being there in 2010.

Other references I've noticed in the last few weeks:
The Office: When Michael tells Jim that he believes the baby was conceived in the office, Jim replies that his baby was conceived in a portapotty at Burning Man.

NCIS: During a re-run Ziva asks a dying man where they've met before and he replies: "Burning Man 2002 Extreme Twister Camp?" I laughed, and then I wondered: was there such a camp? Hmmm.

for the record, I watch waaaaay too much TV. Any one else notice references to BM in other places? Obviously Guitar Hero 3 had a venue that referenced BM as well.

pretty accurate, the comic shows more black people then are actually there...and i never saw an AK-47 out there.

Check out the Ready For Prime Time? thread on the Open Discussion link. This topic has been around for awhile.

That's satire?
Eplayans are more vicious.

Malcolm in the Middle did a whole episode.
Love it when Dad's suburbia attitude is mistaken for performance art.
Worth watching.

Malcolm was pretty good, but my absolute favorite is an episode of Lucy Daughter of the Devil, titled â€œTemptasiaâ€

There was a bit on Robot Chicken where Bill Clinton steals Air Force One from Bush to go to Burning Man with a bunch of Barbies.

Anthony Bourdain made a reference a while back. Something along the lines of "It's like catching an STD at Burning Man"
I love Anthony Bourdain but couldn't believe he dissed BM.

From my experiences, I'm not so sure that's a diss.

I think it was last week on "How to Make it in America" on HBO their was a reference to BM.

For most people, Burning Man is so weird that it's become an analogy for weirdness.

I guess it would depend on "which one"?

Just imagine if it were the other way round.

Burningman Taken Dead Seriously

Sounds kinda dismal, doesn't it?

The Reno 911 episode really didn't help either.
