Burning Man 2008 Art Theme announced...
"American Dream"
If this is a prank, somebody hacked the BM website. Let the raving, flaming, angry emails start flowing!
...so... angry... maybe this is another of the 7 signs of the apocalypse? (Like the smoking ban in Irish bars) Or just the last sign that Burning Man has jumped the shark?
I am back, clean, (though most of my stuff isn't) and will be posting photos and more stories soon, but this just had to be posted ASAP.
Just HOW does this theme relate at ALL to what Burning Man is supposed to be about. Like we need MORE RVs out there? Big Red, White, and Blue RVs?
SOMEbody PLEASE post a comment about this to help me understand how any attendees can get behind this? I have nightmares of beer-helmeted, NASCAR fans saying "Well, finally! Now I can get into this Burning Thing!"
Ick!

Not sure what to say, it does kinda suck. You may want to focus more on american "dream" and less american pride, ie beer helmets and rednecks. I'm guessin' they mean the dream, what your dream, or anyone's dream may have been to come here, be here, live here. We take it for granted, of course, as we know of nothing else. let's be thankful of that, shall we?
