Now, I am all for art, and I love what people can do at burning man. But it really starts to mess with my head the amount of money that some people spend on some of these art installations there. $250,000 for that one piece above, that was just burned in the end. Gosh, why not just line up 1000 starving children right next to it with a sign in front of the piece that says "this cost $250k, imagine all the food you could be eating for that"

while I think all that shit looks way cool, $250k could really help people and places that are in dire straights in this world, and to see someone basically just throw $250k into a pile and light it on fire kind of makes me very sad...oh but wait, it was pretty!
