For the next Burning Man event amass a black-clad paramilitary team that rumbles out of the desert in black Hummers and armored transports. Set up camp and start building the Anti-Burning Man within sight of the Burning Man location. As the Anti-Burning Man is being constructed, your evil minions use
water cannons to keep away revellers curious about the imposing dark figure rising up from the desert floor. At the moment the real Burning Man is complete and ready to be torched, activate the Anti-Burning Man. Motors and gears clank and groan as the evil statue transforms into a giant rocket launching platform. Launch a volley of missiles at the Burning Man and turn it into Millions of Flaming Pieces Falling from the Sky Man, as the horrified pagan partiers run for their lives.

The burning question. If there is a reason for Burning Man, is there a reason for Anti-Burning Man? |
|
| |
not ass burning man then? |
|
| |
Ithink somebody's annoyed. |
|
| |
[Mr Burns] you should post Ant Burning Man under culture: superhero. |
|
| |
This is awesome. It will make its own, anti-social point as a counterpart to the point of the burning man in the first place. It WILL be funny too. Especially if they pagans run naked into some town chased by the rocket launching man. |
|

[Madcat] The image of them fleeing in burning art cars is priceless. |
|
| |
They won't flee. They won't even care. They'd have to
be sober enough to understand what was happening
before you'd get a flight reaction out of them. Mostly
they'd just keep spinning and say something like "wow,
man that was cool." |
|
| |
Bah, why not use those water cannons to keep the unburned burning man well soaked |
|
| |
I think that I must've missed out on something important somehow. Burning Man? Who he? |
|
| |
Some sort of US Trustafarian right of passage type festival whereby a large number of moneyed idiots fanny around in camper vans in the desert, getting mohawks and henna tattoos and battering on endlessly about having a "spiritual experience" when they'd be more likely to have a spiritual experience sniffing glue out of a brown paper bag in a multi-storey car park. |

//Then I suppose you'd really be surprised to know which ones were really the off duty federal agents attending on their vacations// |
|
| |
Does being a federal agent preclude weirdness? I wouldn't have thought so? |
|
| |
Back to the idea: Can we lose the rockets and just have the Anti-Burning Man toddle over and piss on the Burning Man, until it goes out? That would be funnier. |
|

This actually happened one year when a
stray bottle rocket ignited the fireworks
packed inside the man prematurely.
What you describe sounds just like one
of the cool stunts the event organizers
have been staging for years to start the
fire burning. In 1995, the Burning Man
was torched from a jet car drive-by with
a flame thrower. |
|
| |
If you actually built the elaborate
contraption and succesfully staged the
grandious stunt you envision, you
would be applauded by the citizens of
Black Rock City. As an idea, it is just
another overambitious fantasy project
dreamed up by someone who has never
attempted to realize a large-scale art
installation in the desert. |

Well, three years on, I should think [wombat] really feels your disdain. |
