Shouldn't the idea of a burning man be stronger than the object itself.. This is like saying only one person gets to read Hamlet each year. If someone wants to make Burning Man hamburgers, or Burning Man x-flics.. so what. Everyone is entitled to creativity (or should be).. Although i think it should be illegal to have Burning Man girls gone wild forced on me by the media (or even the real Burning Man event), i don't think other people should be prevented from exploring these ideas themselves. The good ideas should be separated from the bad by people experiencing them, not by enforcement. If you want to go to the "real" Burning Man, then do some research, and go.. If you wanna go to the Burning Man 2 down the street - because you like the people there more, then you should be able to.. The "real" Burning Man is not an object or place. Its an idea. And it seems like a good one that everyone should have access to. Think of it this way. We presently living in a world where no one, anywhere, can write a computer program and call it "windows".. (Of course, who would want to now.) I've never been to BM yet... I'd like to -- maybe -- but somehow it feels stronger in my imagination. I'll savor that for a while.

Someone who really cares about this event wouldn't watch girls gone wild burning man, am i still wrong? people who don't care will ruin the event for themselves. what you focus on and consume is your decision. FREE THE NAME AND LOGO TO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN!!! it's the only way to keep this thing real... so what if everyone else goes corporate and sells the name... it only matters if the founders go corporate and sell out, that is what will hurt the event, not if mtv tries to sell it.
