Saw this on breaking news, when Channel 5 were convinced that terrorists were trying to blow up an elevated freeway. Whoever was in charge of this (http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/10890113/detail.html#) is a complete idiot.
Ha, they detonated the first one they found! It's only after the fact that they looked at its components and found no trace of explosives.
Seriously though, funny as it may be I think it's a case of better safe than sorry. It's better than something like that going unnoticed and turning out to actually be a bomb. Doesn't mean those guys shouldn't start taping Adult Swim though. Now what I wanna know is what the heck an inactive pipe bomb was doing in the basement of a hospital.
well, they certainly got their publicity.

They also got arrested. (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,249110,00.html)
Jumping...is useless!
Did you also notice that they had been in place for TWO WEEKS before the police found them?
So not only can they not tell the difference between a bomb and some blinking LEDs, but they also won't respond to a threat until it's over?
Edit:
QuoteNews: REPORT ALL INNOCUOUS-LOOKING OBJECTS TO THE AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY.
Hmmm...
...And anyways, shouldn't we be reporting it to the Potsmaster?
*reports Llearch to the proper authorities*
Wait, he is the proper authorities, NM...
Well, they had a bump about it right before the second Futurama tonight. Course, couldn't read hardly any of it, seeing as how it lasts for about 5 seconds a page... X3
Bah, and they never found the real bombs!
*cackles evily* I placed copies of "Ishtar", "Plan 9 From Outer Space", "The Island", and "Stealth" in every major city around the world! Soon the horrible badness of the films will be witnessed by all! :mwaha

Hey!

This is why I never talk of pop culture.
of course the fact that I don't have access to it works too.
Sounds fun

For those who haven't seen it, Haircuts in the 70's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR_29Oz93mk).
This is brilliant. Exactly what I'd expect from ATHF. If they admitted that they were sorry for scaring everyone, then the prosecution could use that against them as evidence that they intended to cause a panic, which is one of the main issues of contention in this case.

Them take it seriously? Hell now thats like asking a retard stop having sezsuries or a Dalek not kill everything or a hippy stop smoking weed
Feh, I don't take it seriously. Boston is full of stuck up idiots. A single glance at the device from a tiny photograph and I knew exactly what it was and used deduction for figure out what it was for.
Morons panic easily. And this is just more proof that Bostonites are morons. Not to mention they have a segregated city, in spite of their claims of equality. Go there once, you'll see what I mean. Heck, everyone in my lab who's been there said exactly the same thing when we were talking about it yesterday.
And also, no one in any of the other cities where the light devices were placed started a panic, and they were in those cities for just as long... more proof that Boston alone is moron capitol of the USA! ;)
Boston sucks, they put SWISS CHEESE on steak sandwiches! Swiss! Kill them all!! :cuss :tantrum :sword :chainsaw :gun2
*Charles is captured by rogue Bostonite agents and taken back for execution* :lynched
Lave it to the governer to be a total kill joy. I say let the moninites RAWK :kirby !

*insert obligatory indignance because of being from Boston*
But yeah, I love that Boston is the one city that freaks out about this....
As much as I sholdn't agree, Most people around here are idiots.
Actually, I think one of the guys that got arrested for that was from the town i live in...
Hold on Charles...Isn't both MIT and Harvard in the Boston area?
...
Oh, wait - I see your point. :3
So... waitaminute. They got arrested for putting up Lite Brites. Because, as everyone knows, a mad bomber will put some sort of watermark or copyrighted symbol on his small, flat bombs in order to gain a reputation. Next they'll be scared of people smuggling firearms in etch-a-sketches.
