Yes, this is a Quiznos commercial but it is actually a very well-done spoof of the ‘Hunger Games’ and other films and TV shows that I haven’t watched- while pointedly alluding to the sinister infiltration by corporate and Police State interests of the yearly counter-cultural event, known as Burning Man.
At one point, one of the young people trapped in the deadly Black Rock desert of Nevada declares, in horror:
“They lied to us. This was supposed to be anti-society, based on radical self-expression. This has become a place for rich people to come to check off their bucket list. We’ve got to get out of here!”
The spot is particularly funny, as it’s recently been revealed in a FOIA request that the FBI has maintained a presence at Burning Man for several years, to “…aid [Who???] in the prevention of terrorist activities and intelligence collection”.
The FBI has requested and received special tents and amenities, to protect them from the punishing conditions of the desert, courtesy of US Taxpayers.
However, the juicy details about the technology used to secretly gather the information on the hapless revelers was blanked out from the report, which was granted to US Citizen, Inkoo Kang, who filed the request, as reported here:
