why are people SO freaking stupid?

So I am assuming this is in regular news as well… I mostly only read news posted on Digg, so… yeah.  But anyway, this has been all over there…  but…. this whole “Boston Bomb Scare” thing?  Yeah.  People are idiots.

If you don’t know, these “bombs”, were actually a guerilla advertising campaign for the new Aqua Teens Hunger Force movie.  That’s the adult swim cartoon featuring a shake, a fry, and a meatball, if you don’t know.  If you are familiar with the show, you would recognize these “bombs” as displaying a mooninite that would be flipping you the bird.

so, what are these “bombs” exactly?  and what makes them so suspicious?

They are circuit boards.  With LEDs on them.  Yes, LEDs.  That light up.  You know, so you can see them.  Especially at night.  To draw attention to themselves.  Yeah, every time I see a small board with LEDs on it, I immediately think, “OMFG, it’s a bomb!” and then I run screaming.

Call me crazy, but if terrorists placed bombs throughout a city, I don’t think they are going to make them light up.  I think they would just place them there, and then blow them up.  Especially if they were all over the city, and the bombs were being discovered, something tells me they’d just set them off.

Anyway, I hope you agree with me, because this is one issue that… if you don’t agree with me, I’m sorry, but, you may just be an idiot.

Oh, and here is a video of the boards being constructed and placed around Boston.

  1. true… ever so true. so i wonder what idiot in boston is gonna get fired for blowing this out of proportion.

    so the high score machines on yellow springs only worked for like a few days. what’s up with that? the game sucked anyway… the highest score you could possibly get is 68 and i definitely should have gotten better then that.
