I don’t know … the waffle looks interesting, I can’t deny that, BUT … am I the only one who sees an unhappy irony in the fact that the most iconic image to come out of a supposedly noncommercial event is a $400,000 corporate sponsored timber burn that I’m now hearing was used in a TV commercial?

Doesn’t this kind of thing tend to move those who aren’t in a position to hook up to that kind of cash more back in the direction of becoming spectators? If the residents of a community gather around while a commercial is being shot, does the fact that they gathered transform the shooting into folk art, or does it just remain a spectacle that distracts the man on the street without really engaging him?
