    Malcolm in The Middle Goes to Burning Man?




    Grrr... this just doesn't seem right. It's one thing for Homer Simpson to go to Burning Man as an animated charachter, but Malcolm?

    Nevertheless, I'll have to check it out.

    RV and make it a family trip. At the festival, sparks fly between
    Malcolm and an older shaman (Arquette), Lois learns the joy of hemp
    and goes topless, and Hal becomes performance art. The festivities
    come to a screeching halt when the RV goes up in flames on the
    "Burning Man" episode of MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE Friday, Sept. 30
    (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (MIM-701) (TV-PG L, S)

    yeah i cringed when i saw that. not very cool to add that commercialism to it i think. it will attract the mainstream and taint it. they will of course misrepresent it just like t.v. does with everything sacred. hal and tassy should watch to, so we can have a discussion on monday about it.

      Yep, next year Burning Man will be akin to Lollapalooza III

      Feminists will fight for a Burning Woman event.

      The government will see this as a threat to humanity and impose regulations. Nudity and freedom of speech and expression will be eliminated. Any acts or scenes depicting anything sexual or provocative will be censored.

      Thanks FOX.

        One thing I really like about Burning Man is how much of a pain in the ass it is to go.

        It's hot.
        Dirty.
        Dry.
        Windy.
        Out of the way.
        It requires a lot of planning.
        It requires a lot of commitment.
        As far as camping goes, it's an expensive venture.
        One you're there, that's it. You're cut off from the outside world.

        Hopefully, as long as there are substantial obstacles, only those who really want to be a part of it will attend.

              Yeah? What reason did they state? Did they threaten repurcussion if you did not remove the pic's?

                  I'll refrain from the obvious comment here.

                  On another more positive note.....

                  LA-Decom is happeing October 15th. Get a taste of Burning Man without the 12 hour drive.

                    And of course Burning Man has nothing to do with commerce --

                    If the "Wilderness" keeps getting farther away, one day we won't be able to afford the return trip.

                        I have heard that a few vetran burners worked on the show and that it was handeled pretty well. We shall see.

                            UPDATE:

                            A vetran burner and DJ friend of mine posted this:


                            i actually worked on the malcom in the middle burning man episode.

                            it was pretty funny. all the pokes were at the malcom family, not at
                            the burners.

                            they even had a larry esque character explaining the concepts.

                            its like an old 97 style burn, with hay bales, ect.

                                      UPDATE!

                                      Burning Man has an official newsletter called "The Jack Rabbit Speaks".

                                      This was on the JRS letter today....



                                      Yes, we know about Malcolm in the Middle tonight at 8:30 PM on FOX,
                                      where the family takes a trip to Burning Man.

                                      No, it's not really at Burning Man.
                                      No, we didn't "approve" it because in this case it's not up to us.
                                      Yes, really. It's satire.
                                      No, it's okay. We don't mind laughing at ourselves a little, anyway.
                                      (See also: "The Simpsons", "American Dad", "Reno 911". These shows have
                                      all had a little fun at Burning Man's expense. Funny? Yesss.)
                                      No, we're not big TV fans, but yeah, we're gonna watch it.
                                      What, you're not just a little bit curious?
