He was so desperate to flee you'd have thought Will Smith was there.

Just when you thought the world couldn’t possibly get any stranger, the Burning Man festival has been placed on lockdown with nobody allowed to enter or leave after inclement weather turned the entire event in a sludgy pool of knee-deep mud. Of course, celebrities can always find a way to flee, but Chris Rock achieved it in the most unexpected of fashions.
In another sentence that sounds ridiculous when you see it, the actor and comedian ended up walking for five miles through the goop with Diplo of all people, before they ended up hitching a ride with a fellow festival-goer in their pickup truck that managed to make it through the increasingly treacherous terrain in a mad dash for safety.
If you thought today’s edition of “things you never thought you’d hear” was over, then think again after rumors began spreading on social media that Burning Man was also the subject of an Ebola virus outbreak, which would have made for quite the surprise headliner all things considered.
It’s a hoax, of course, but that hasn’t stopped internet users from claiming the CDC is ready to quarantine the entire area in an effort to prevent a national catastrophe. Chris Rock, Diplo, Burning Man, and Ebola; what more could anybody ask for in terms of completely unexpected words to string together that would have sounded preposterously far-fetched as recently as 24 hours ago?
Quarantining and cordoning off a massive stretch of land due to a virus? That sounds an awful lot like I Am Legend, but you’d suspect that won’t be on Rock’s watch-list anytime soon.
What a wimp! My son loves Burning Man - he stayed for the duration and is out now. He sent a message last night that oddly this was probably the best BM of all.
I’m not defending Burning Man but some people love it.
5 miles is a nothing for a person in reasonable health. I walk that much with my 12 year old dog.
In ankle deep mud?..................
Rock should make a video of things not to do at Burning Man
Uphill both ways?
Why not just call a helicopter?
Chris Rock is probably one of the Elder Burning Man fans at age 58. I’m impressed hearing about his 5 mile “Trail of Beers’ Walk through the desert muds. I think Diplo is a 40 something “DJ”. Diplo recently claimed that some Taylor Swift fans ‘threatened to murder’ him because of his Tweets about her.
In snow!.....................
He’s going to have at least 30 minutes of material after this.
And we ate dirt, and we were thankful for the dirt.
The wet dust is very similar to walking in wet concrete. Every few steps your feet become encased in a wet heavy rock that solidifies when dry
Being threatened by a gang of 14 year old girls?................
🤦♂️😜😂👌👍.......................
Hell hath no fury like a Taylor Swift Fan.
While getting slapped in the face by Will Smith
Walking in mud aint easy its like sand but with suction on the up step
If Taylor Swift could write songs as good as Carole King, they might have a point.
But all she can write is bubble gum popping sweet nothing songs.
Her songs are the equivalent of a Twinkie................
“I just broke up again, think I’ll write a song about it.”
“He was so desperate to flee you’d have thought Will Smith was there.” Made me laugh.
