Boston Bombs

The Boston Police are threatening to charge Turner Broadcasting $750,000 for the gazillion man-hours they spent determining that the following was NOT in fact a bomb set by a terrorist:

*

God only knows what they'd try to charge you with if you wrote "Da Moon Rulz #1" on their car with a key!!!

Hint to Boston PD -- the next time you see a device in a plastic box with wires hanging out of it sitting on the ground, try calling someone to make sure that it's not a BetaMax before you spend $750,000 worth of man-hours trying to "defuse it."

*Yes...this is the actual "Boston Bomb" -- a LightBright of Mooninite, a character from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Yes...the Boston PD really thought that this was a bomb. Yes...I'm cancelling my trip to Boston because I now fear for my life in a city where the police, the bomb squad, the mayor, the city council and the state attorney general all think that a LightBright image of a Mooninite looks like a bomb.

We have some signs around Demopolis that don't look that professional...

The scariest thing about this -- from a Homeland Security perspective -- is that it took Boston two weeks to freak out about it.

Perhaps they should have asked this guy for help. He is usually good at getting rid or Mooninites.

Re: Boston Bombs

I don't see what the problem is.

Even if they were bombs, they would have only exploded in two dimensions.
