In your face but like its creator said he expected problems and he got what he expected...
Ok I think we agree on that neither of us gets it at least what the other is trying to communicate.spectabillis wrote: I dont think you understand the point, or maybe I dont - because I just dont get what you are saying. There is no explicit adverstising, there is reputation. That reputation is spread by those who dont really care about what others are trying to create and accomplish - by those who are pretty much inconsiderate and self-serving to their own needs and desires.
I still dont think you get it, but not going to waste much more effort in trying to explain things. You might want to consider thinking about other people's comments without immediately developing some sort of pro/con opinion, then trying to defend it.
... otherwise, nevermind.

Burning Man
Every summer Black Rock City is built and taken down in one week for a unique counter-culture event called the Burning Man Festival. Artists, techno club partiers, mad scientists and social revolutionaries from all over America and the world make Black Rock temporarily the fourth largest "city" in Nevada. In this episode, Charlie LeDuff heads off to this chaotic desert gathering. Over the course of the week in which he breathes fire, meets the founders and members of Black Rock City, attends a shamanistic wedding, and gets his toe nails painted and his hair cut into a Mohawk — LeDuff proves once again that he is no ordinary reporter.

From this, the reputation grows, and your and my and others freedom of expression diminishes.
This is why the LAST thing I would do when someone asks about how to find "Sex Camps" is give them directions.
You'll notice that my current signature is sarcastic.
