Malcolm in The Middle Goes to Burning Man?
 

:Oh crap


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.

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. :2 cents:

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.

Ironically... I got contacted by Media Mecca today and was asked to remove all Burning Man pictures from our pinkgasm blog.

Did they say why?

:firehair

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

Pinkgasm is a commercial site.

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

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

Shows on tonight! Bump for that.

Discussion to follow after show :thumbsup

DVR set.

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

American Dad went to Burning Man. great episode.

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.

You got balls Rnad I don't think I could do it. but take pics so I can live vicariously through you :winkwink:

The thing is, as with everything of such size..

People don't longer go there to be part of it, they go there to see it.

Thats some amazing Art

I think I would lose focus of reality there from all the drugs I took in the past
crazy flash backs.. LOL

one day you will have to take me

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?

When the New World Order finally arrives I hope to have a job rounding up freaks and weirdos. I think I'd really be good at it.
