i couldn't help but notice that your post is from SW florida.

you have to admit that it is pretty stupid for someone to say that they will burn their own community down.

that usually doesn't get a very positive response from those living in the community.

It is incredibly stupid of them to say that. I was responding to the posters who are agreeing with the angry guy.

It's called art. Look it up.
I NEVER said that the city should burn. Check my post on this topic on the first page. I was making fun of the stupidity of burning your home out of protest. My remark about color was meant as a joke. Of course I realize the commercial was filmed in a way as to drain out most of the color. I would have though the Crayola explosion would have made it obvious I wasn't serious.

Agreed. I've seen pics of Detroit before I was born in the 1960's and it was a nice looking place.
