Moron of the Day: Burning Man

Remember that part in 40 Year Old Virgin where they kept saying "You know how I know you're gay?"

Well, I've got one. You know how I know this guy is retarded? He's a performance artist*:

A San Francisco performance artist was sentenced Friday to as many as four years in prison and ordered to pay restitution for the early torching last summer of the signature effigy of the counterculture Burning Man festival.

Paul Addis pleaded guilty in May to one felony count of injury to property stemming from the burning of the 40-foot icon on Aug. 28 — four days earlier than planned. He was ordered to pay $30,000 in restitution.

That is just too fucking awesome. A counterculture festival pressing charges against a guy for burning their giant anarchist effigy too early. Once again, the rebels have turned into the man, keeping honest, hard-working** performance artists down.

* - Seriously, can't we just be honest and use the term "unemployed, homeless person" instead of performance artists? Euphamisms are beneath us.

** - While I have no doubt that peeing in alleys, sleeping under newspapers and painting your face like a luchador is 'hard work,' I'm not going to give him too much credit on the honesty because the mentally challenged are typically fonts of truth and whatever the opposite of subtlety is.

As is my wont, Douchey McShitstain meets his 'maker' in the extended entry.

1 Heh. I'll tell you why the irony meter pegged on this one. The theme for that year's Burning Man was "Green Man". They were really conflicted over whether or not to build and burn another one. In the end, they did.

When my intel source said they thought that jail was a little excessive, I suggested burning the "performance artist". Turns out, that was a pretty popular option they considered.

2 Oh my!  An anarchist didn't play by the rules!  There is no possible way that could have been foreseen.

Actually alex, in 1543, Nostradomus wrote:

"Smelly anarchists pissed off when statue for burning by smelly anarchists burned by smelly anarchist."

True story.

Here's what I wrote at the time:

"At a gathering of latter-day hippies, a narcissistic fop burns the gigantic icon of navel-gazing teen angst four days early. Police are immediately called.

Oh, it is to laugh."

I even created a new tag for it called Ironically Delicious.  The story made my whole summer.

6 What was the pic, MP?  If you'd like, since I know the traffic won't be TOO heavy from here, I can give you a place to post it.  Email it to me if you want me to stick it on our server.
