This is the Venerable Thich Quang Duc, and incase you haven't noticed he's on fire. No shit, this is a real person on fire. In 1963 he torched himself infront his followers and the world press as a protest at the policies of the then US-backed Diem regime of South Vietnam. Takes a new meaning to going out in a Blaze of Glory doesn't it? Bloody stupid protest if you ask me. Kind of; look at me, i'm on fire, now sort sh*t out. I mean, what's the point in that, yer dead and everyone's left thinking, what drugs was he on, and better no take to many off them. Dinnae know if any sh*t happened cos of it cos I don't really give a f*ck. Incase yer wondering where you've seen this before, it was probably on Rage Against the Machine's self titled album. |
