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.

Re: Boston Bombs
We have some signs around Demopolis that don't look that professional...
Bottom line, the City is embarrassed.

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

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

On the moon nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with moon rocks.

Re: Boston Bombs
I don't see what the problem is.
Even if they were bombs, they would have only exploded in two dimensions.
