It’s 2012. The Zombie Apocalypse could be here any day. So what’s a Burner to do? Bite off another dude’s face, obviously.
You may have been sleeping under a tree this week, and not heard about this. A cannibal professed his love to his girlfriend, then ate a guys face, and when cops warned him off it, he growled at them, and went back to face-chomping.
A lot of crazy shit happens at Burning Man. The official Burning Man blog has a lot to say about embracing barbarianism, according to Them it’s not all peace and love at Burning Man. We’ve certainly seen all kinds of flaming Mad Max shit out on the Playa before. But still, this is going too far. What’s up with this guy? Is he a CIA experiment, a public alpha test, the fore-runner of the fore-told Zombie Apocalypse? Is this yet another way you can get hurt at Burning Man?
ate a live human face or two every day. Imagine if he were to say, “it’s very characteristic of him!”. His victim/meal had been living on the roof of a Zoo since last Thursday – most people don’t do that either. Most people don’t resist a “Jungle Outreach Team” sent to rein them in, and then live large with their homeboys on freeways. Europeans like a kiss on each cheek, this guy just had to go that little bit further…
