So, I recently watched the movie "The Bridge" which is essentially a snuff film of people jumping off the golden gate bridge. It was disturbing, not very well-done, and lacking a certain je ne sais quoi.
This led to a conversation about the guy who hung himself at Burning Man and a discussion of superior ways to off yourself at BM.
We were curious as to whether or not the guy who hung himself crapped his pants, and thought it would be much preferable to hang yourself inside the man, right before it burned.
Of course, this would be a security issue, and it would risk canceling the actual burn....then not only would they see that you'd crapped your pants, but your friends would be pissed to boot.
There is always the potential of bizarre scissor lift accidents, or throwing yourself in front of art cars being driven by obnoxiously drunk people.
So- where's Shatter?
The question is....what would be the best method of suicide at Burning Man?

Sat, February 2, 2008 - 9:50 PMi suppose if you wanted to play a practical joke without getting arrested, prematurely burning the Man with yourself inside Wicker-Man style would be the way to go. -
