Pranksters at Burning Man have changed the sign on top of the infamous Thunderdome to read “Hot Topic”. Bravo!

Thunderdome, where epic Mad Max style battles take place between bungee suspended warriors, is run by the San Francisco goth/industrial group Death Guild and of course Hot Topic is where suburban goth kids buy their clothes at the mall.

Here’s a video by marclar of the Thunderdome in 2007.
