Suspitious Devices Found In Boston, MA

The youth today seem to feel the need to keep up with the 60's generation of experimenting with drugs and general slacking. At least that is my impression of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. That or since all the major wars (no, Iraq and Afghanistan are NOT major wars) are over, the youth of today is bored out of its scull and getting mildly psychotic as a consequence. With no meaning or purpose to their life they find camaraderie with a cartoon with absolutely no meaning or purpose.

I mean, of course in the post 9-11 people are going to be concerned with little boxes with blinking lights. Hell, sure they looked dopey. What better disguise for a terrorists bomb than dopey blinking lights in the form of a stupid character? The young men who planted them and the executives who had the idea to plant them have somehow lost all logical neurological function.

Youth might be wasted on the young. But now I think we have turned a corner and the future is wasted by the next generation.

In other words, if Grampa don't find it funny, it must be a moral failing of another generation.

And what exactly was the meaning or purpose of cartoons back in the days of yore,(e.g. "Road Runner and Coyote").

I can answer that. A device with no blinking lights at all. That way people would not notice it until it was detonated.

Also you forgot the part about "In my day, when the authorities wanted to disarm suspicious packages they had to walk five miles to get to the bomb-like device."

They also used to make blotter acid with pictures of "Mr. Natural" or Mickey Mouse lifting a finger.

Yeah...anything with amusing cartoon characters on it always = safe.
:rolleyes:

For the record, I also don't think any of the devices were blinking at all.
From all the videos and articles I've seen posted, it seems that all the LEDs stay lit constantly once the device is put up.
I can see how flashing lights might remind people of the bomb countdown timers they’ve seen in Hollywood movies, but from what I can tell the evidence does not support this case.
In fact, the batteries may have even already run out by the time the hysteria started.

New twist. It is possible that the marketing company knew about the panic and decided not to tell the police that they were responsible.

The Boston Globe is reporting that the two men who put up the devices claim that they were told to keep quiet about the incident.

Apparently, one of the perpetrators/pranksters/viral marketing gurus, went out to take some videotape of the cops disarming the things.

Street-surveillance cameras caught 27-year-old Peter Berdovsky videotaping officers removing what they thought was a possible bomb last week.
