Mooninites Newest Homeland Security Threat

[Double A]

[sgrizzle]

As Keith Olberman said, if they thought these were bombs, then they need to be finding a different profession. It's a freakin' LED sign. Do these people dive under the table whenever the neon Budweiser sign lights up? I've looked at detailed pictures of the circuitry. One person reported it as a pipe bomb. Only with no pipe and no explosives and no timer and lights up. Realistically, my alarm clock is closer to a bomb than these things are. Would the Governor of Massachusetts throw a fit if someone hung their clock radio from an overpass?

Long live Ignignokt and Err

Look Fryman...I'm doing it as hard as I possibly can...

[iplaw]

I heard they have a suspect in custody...

[sgrizzle]

They arrested two people. Their reason for thinking it was a bomb is "It had a battery behind it, and wires."

Instead of not trying to look like idiots, Massachusetts is  talking about arresting people at Turner corporate HQ. Nevermind that the signs were done by individual artists organized by a marketing firm and no-one who did anything works for Turner.

Boston - Where we overreact and it's your fault.

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that swat guy holding the picture of Err giving everyone the finger.  The best part is that the news agencies must not know he's giving the finger because no one is bleeping it out.

[sgrizzle]

It looks like there ae also billboards and larger signs as well. Sometimes the finger is censored on the sign.

[iplaw]

pancakes were those things anyway?  Were they some sort of Al-Qaeda issue Lite-Brite?

[sgrizzle]

Basic circuit boards, few dozen LED's, couple of transistors and capacitors and 4 "d" batteries.

Buy one for the house:

Dolphins arrested for toy bomb.


WINDLEY KEY, Fla. (AP) - A dolphin's toy that resembled a bomb scared spectators Wednesday and prompted officials at a marine park to call 911. A dolphin playing in a tank at Theater of the Sea surfaced with several items, including one that looked like a homemade bomb.

The toy in question was a softball-sized glass jar containing a black substance and covered by a white substance, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said.

Authorities said about 15 people, mostly employees, evacuated the facility around 11 a.m. while the sheriff's bomb squad investigated, The Key West Citizen reported.

Dolphins are widely known for their terrorist views. Even their laugh sounds like middle-eastern women heckling our soldiers.  Glass jars since Ben Franklin's experiments have injured millions. 'Nuff said. Do we have dolphins at the Aquarium?

[sgrizzle]

No dolphins at the aquarium. Dolphins have an extremely high fatality rate in captivity that is why very few aquariums have dolphins, and those that do, lease them so they can swap out the dead ones easily.

Check out the YouTube video of them "planting" the bombs.

No YouTube at work.

I'd say we have a finalist for best news story of 2007 already.
