Consumerism Comes to Thanatos

There's a new "art" exhibit coming to the West Coast: Experience the Experience of Being Buried Alive. Link. Excerpt:

The people present will have an opportunity to be buried alive in a coffin for fifteen minutes. As a framework program there will be lectures about the history of the science of determining death and the medical cultural history of "buried alive". People buried alive not only populate the horror stories of past centuries, but also countless reports in specialized medical literature.

Weird, freaky stuff.
