THE PEOPLE BEHIND BURNING MAN ARE LAWYERING UP AGAINST
QUIZNOS FOR AN AD THEY CREATED WHICH CREATES A PARODY
ABOUT BURNING MAN.
THE AD IN MY OPINION IS HILARIOUS.
I WILL TALK ABOUT THE HYPOCRISY OF THE PEOPLE BEHIND
BURNING MAN.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY COACHELLA WAS A COMPLETE
SUCCESS.
WE DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT MILLENNIAL'S ARE WILLING TO
FORK OVER TONS OF CASH TO ATTEND AN OVERCROWDED FESTIVAL IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT.
IT'S TIME NOW TO BEGIN, PHASE 2.
>>WELCOME TO BURNING MAN.
>> YOU ARE HOME NOW.
>> THE WORLD OUTSIDE IS HANGING ON BY A VERY THIN, NON-GMO
CRUELTY FREE ORGANIC THREAD.
BEYOND THIS TENT LIES THE BEGINNING OF YOUR NEW LIVES
AS BURNERS.
>> WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS FESTIVAL?
>> I KNOW THERE IS A UNICORN CAR THAT SHOOTS FIREBALLS.
YOU HAVE TO TRADE A BACK RUB TO BE GIFTED A QUIZNOS SUB.
AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET CLEAN IS TO GO THROUGH A HUMAN
CARWASH.
>> DON'T YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO LOOK COOL ON INSTAGRAM?
I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS FILTER.
>> I THINK THAT IS SO FUNNY.
BURNING MAN HAS DECIDED TO ISSUE A CEASE AND DESIST LETTER.
>> THAT WILL SHOW THEM.
DON'T YOU MAKE FUN OF BURNING MAN.
IT IS ONE THING ABOUT BURNING MAN TO TAKE THINGS REALLY
SERIOUSLY.
>> FIRST OF ALL, BE ABLE TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF.
THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE ANTI-CORPORATIONS.
THEY DON'T WANT BURNING MAN TO BE USED FOR ANY CORPORATE
ADVERTISEMENT, WHICH IS AN INTERESTING POINT.
>> BURNING MAN ATTRACTS THE MOST CORPORATE MILLENNIALS
IMAGINABLE.
PEOPLE WORKING IN SILICON VALLEY, THE MOST WEALTHY
PEOPLE YOU CAN IMAGINE GO TO BURNING MAN BECAUSE IT IS
EXPENSIVE AS FUCK TO GO THERE.
SO IT'S A LITTLE IRONIC.
>> IT IS JUST SO FUNNY.
BUT I THINK WHAT IT'S MORE ABOUT IS THAT THEY DON'T LIKE
BEING MADE FUN OF.
>> YOU HURT THEIR FEELINGS.
>> LAUGH AT YOURSELF, THAT WAS FUNNY.
I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST BURNING MAN.
I DON'T WANT TO GO BECAUSE I LIKE TO SHOWER.
I FEEL LIKE I CAN DO DRUGS IN A MORE ENJOYABLE, CLEANER,
SAFER ENVIRONMENT THAN BURNING MAN.
>> I DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT BURNING MAN.
I HAVE NEVER BURNED ANYTHING, THAT IS NOT TRUE, I ALMOST
BURNED MY BACKYARD.
THE DESERT, NOT IN FAVOR OF IT.
AIR-CONDITIONING, I VOTE YES.
COLOR ME IGNORANT ON THIS ISSUE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THAT WAS
A FUNNY AD AND THEY NEED TO GET A SENSE OF HUMOR.
LOOK, IF YOU USE ATHLETES IN AN AD, YOU HAVE TO PAY THEM.
IF YOU USE PEOPLE'S NAME OR AN ORGANIZATION, YOU HAVE TO
PAY THEM.
IF BURNING MAN IS A LITTLE BIT MORE HONEST, THEY SHOULD
SAY PAY US.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
>> BUT THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN
BEING PAID IT.
THEY JUST WANT THESE ADS TO GO AWAY WHICH IS GOING TO BE
IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY OUT THERE.
MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THAT BURNING MAN IS
SUPPOSED TO BE ALL ABOUT RADICAL SELF-EXPRESSION, RADICAL
INCLUSION, AND THE CULTURE OF POSSIBILITY.
BUT WE WILL SHUT YOUR ASS DOWN IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT.
>> THAT IS RIGHT.
>> RADICAL INCLUSION DOES NOT INCLUDE QUIZNOS.
I AM A WELL-KNOWN ADVOCATE OF SUBS.
I AM PRO-SUBS.
>> THAT AD WAS THE BEST THING QUIZNOS HAS EVER DONE,
INCLUDING THEIR FOOD.
LET'S KEEP IT REAL.
>> IN THE OLD STUDIO I USED TO GET QUIZNOS ALL THE TIME.
>> I DID THAT ONCE AND REALIZED IT WAS A MISTAKE.
IF YOU GUYS WANT TO SPONSOR US, WE LOVE YOU.
>> YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A GOOD PLACE FOR YOU CAN GET A GOOD SUB
>>TOASTY.
>> BURNING MAN, GET A SENSE OF HUMOR.
QUIZNOS, PAY THEM.
