A guy was arrested and charged with arson for lighting “the man” on fire at the annual Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock Desert.

Update

Good luck to Paul Addis, the guy arrested for burning the Man. Hope the cops didn’t find anything interesting on him.

that’s funny.

I bet they don’t get the joke either…

What would really be funny would be to douse the thing from a firebomber while everyone watches…

As a long time representative of Burning Man I hope that it doesn’t spawn copy cat arsonists, especially with all the international press he’s getting. As a side note, every Nevadan, especially those that bag on this event, should see it at least once. Side note #2, I’m working with Burners without Borders and Q&D Construction and on Wednesday after the event, 10 semi trucks will be rolling into town stacked high with lumber from the event that will be given to Habitat for Humanity to build homes in Reno for the less fortunate. Pretty cool.
