Boorman Burns Brands to Promote Brand

burning-sneakers.jpg

Neil Boorman is going to gather together all his branded possessions, place them in a pile, douse them with lighter fluid and set the whole thing on fire. He’s doing it as some sort of protest against the ruling power brands have over an individual’s life and one’s definition of that life. Of course, in a sick twist, he’s doing it all to promote his own brand, a new book called Bonfire of the Brands.
