these guys not only burnt all that money but also deleted their entire back catalogue for sale...

this is an incredibly unique, influential, stupid, amazing thing they have done in the name of art.

bravo

Heroes. Total Heroes.

Anyone even commenting on "the money" is basically a weak minded fuck.

Watching this, I'm reminded of how traditional Chinese burn 'hell money' regularly, as offerings to close ones gone on to the afterlife before them.

Such 'underworld currency' is akin to toy money, all good replicas of the real stuff.

'Mobile phones' and 'tablets' are most recently available at incense shops near you.

Real money, burnable offerings, but similarly paper.

Willing self-deception everywhere makes the difference possible.

@Snoopolli its more than art - its politics - as long as there are rich people there will always be poor/hunger/starvation

@LUKUS909 On your KLF money burning comment: How are you weak minded if you don't hate money? I don't. Money never did anything bad, people who couldn't deal with money did.

Also, what makes these guys heroes for burning a million? How about giving it to needy children?

[perfectchronic]

to bad when you burn money you're taking away from the government and giving it to the central bank. and we taxpayers pay for it.

[leebeyer3]

Yeah! Burning money makes you rebellious, postmodern, and a genius!

Yeah!

Yeah.....

@jjj69v Moneys not even scraps of paper any more, it's a number on your banks database

[darrenverno]

why is everyone so annoyed about them burning it and not giving it to charity or something????? Its their money, they can do what they want wtih it.. What about some rich people who buy fast cars and swimming pools? Is that not a waste of money where it could have gone to somewhere better like starving kids in africa??

[Feamelwen]

@DarkDragonAdal "Should" they? Nobody tells the KLF what to do of their time or money, I'll tell you that. They go beyond ordinary people's fears and taboos. It must have been kind of funny to watch all these motherfucking hypocrites gasp "ohmygod! it is MONEY! they could give it to someone in NEED!", I'm almost sure that most of these people would never give to charity or whatsoever, if they have the same amount of money. They'll buy boats and dresses. So fuck that, burn it all, and viva KLF!

If it had been real money, they would've burnt this in public before TV and all that shit !!
