charged with commiting acts of terror, or do you think it's all a misunderstanding?They were put in 10 major cities under tunnels and bridges, which obviously is a stupid spot to adervertise in the first place. It seems to me ike they wanted to cause some sort of panic. I also heard there could be up to 50 in Philadelphia. What do you think?
P.S.: You know we live in a new world when a National News reporter can say " Cartoon Network" and " Act of Terrorism" in the same sentence.

Terror, no acting recklessly, yes.

As you pointed out on your question, they placed these "devices" under bridges and in tunnels - they knew well enough to stay away from the airport with them, and that speaks volumes about their ignorance defense.
And just what the hell were the people at the cartoon network thinking? It would have been no great effort to simply notify the proper authorities of what they were planning to do.
The antics and apparent disregard for the literally thousands of people inconvenienced as well as the expense and stress placed on the bomb teams, police and other workers shown by these dirt bags at their hearing was disgusting.
Perhaps they would like to pay - $$ literally $$ - for their total lapse of brain function.
Post 9/11 is not a good time to be leaving suspicious items around - duh.

An overeaction by a nation who have had fear beaten into them daily for the last 5 and a half years by our leaders is what it was.
Like Al Qaeda would plant bombs with cartoon characters shooting the bird!
This "new world" pisses me off!

The people who responded to this without investigating it first are just as guilty for causing panic.

woa, you have no idea what your talking about.
this is how fake rumors go around... lol
the 2 kids worked as artists for a movie, a cartoon movie...
it was a comedic movie based on a comedy t.v. show on the cartoon network.
they were hired to advertise for the movie.
the "bombs" were props for a movie...
they were in 10 major cities...
Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Ore., Austin, Texas, San Francisco and Philadelphia.
Every1 knew they were just props from a movie being filmed...
Boston was the only city to mistake a sign for a bomb...
When theres a blow up thing sticking out its middle fingure, hanging from the ceiling...
and theres a sign next to it, lit up with neon lights, promoting a movie...
I guess people in Boston are too stupid to understand that its a promo... rather they shut down the city to investigate.
"The 1-foot tall signs, which were lit up at night, resembled a circuit board, with protruding wires and batteries."
I really wish i was there when the police+bomb squad were checking out the "bomb." that convo must have been hilarious..
"Hey Todd, *while munching on a boston creme donut* dont these lights look like sum kind of alien mysterious BOMB SIGNALS?! Omg look Todd! They even plug into a power source!"
"OMG!!! I THINK OSAMA IS TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING!... WHEN YOU STEP BACK.. IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE SOME LIGHT-UP REPRODUCTION OF SOME KIND OF ARABIC HYROGLIFICS!"
"Hold on Todd! I think it says.. I think... It says 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force - only on Cartoon Network TV!'"
"OH NO TOMMY, LOOK THERES AN ON SWITCH! IMA HIT IT! IF WE DIE, WE DIE AS HEROS, TOMMY!!!"
"NOOOOO TOOODDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!~~~~!!"
*lights turn on*
"OMG THERES LIGHTS! THAT MUST MEAN THE INVISABLE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN!!"
"QUICK TODD! CALL THE BOMB SQUAD!"
--Boston Bomb Squad Arrives--
"MY GOD! A NEON SIGN WITH A POWER SOURCE? LOOK, THESE WIRES CONNECT TO A BATTERY!"
"CALL THE PRESIDENT, THIS MAY BE SOME SORT OF TERRORIST PLAN TO TEST HOW QUICK WE REACT TO A BOMB BEING PLACED ON THE FOUNDATION OF OUR BRIDGE IN ORDER TO BETTER PLAN FOR A FUTURE ATTACK!! YEA, THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THIS BOX-LIKE FIGURE LOOKS JUST LIKE OSAMA BIN LADEN HIMSELF, IT ALSO EXPLAINS WHY HE IS GIVING THE MIDDLE FINGURE! Yea... Im from Boston and i'm really smart!"
I totally agree with the assistant attrny general...
"It's clear the intent was to get attention by causing fear and unrest that there was a bomb in that location," Assistant Attorney General John Grossman
I mean, CLEARLY, this cartoon-advertising company made us think that the sign that said 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force - only on Cartoon Network TV!' really said "Ima Bomb You Boston Jerkfaces - Love, Osama Bin Laden."
It was all in their plan to mess with our heads.
*prolly what the boston police press conference sounded like...*
"Its clear these 2 TERRORISTS planted these light-up signs in order to use them as a HOAX to cause mahem in Boston and promote their company!!!! THEY EVEN HAD WIRES CONNECTING THE LIGHT BULBS TO A BATTERY!!! 5 CONSECUTIVE LIFE SENTENCES FOR BOTH OF THEM I SAY!!!!"
-"Sir! Sir! Sir!"
"Yes?"
-"One question, it was quite obvious that the sign was made out of light bulbs.. so it needed power from somewhere.. how do you expect it to get power unless it uses a battery?.."
"IF THIS WASN'T A HOAX, THEY WOULD HAVE EITHER PLUGGED IT INTO AN OUTLET, OR THEY WOULD HAVE USED SOLAR PANELS!"
-"Uhm, but sir.. they were in tunnels, there are no outlets.. and theres no sunlight...."
"er... RAPE!! RAPE!! ARREST THIS MAN, HE JUST TRIED TO RAPE ME!! RAPE!! GET HIM OUTTA HERE!!"... "Sorry about that, clearly that man had no idea wtf he was talking about. Clearly out of control. Its people like that who get you into real big trouble! ... well now that we have established that we are all in aggreance that this really was a hoax meant to shut down the entire city of Boston, any1 want a boston creme donut?"
Lets review...
These signs were placed in 10 cities/states...
Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Ore., Austin, Texas, San Francisco and Philadelphia.
They were there for 3 weeks prior to the bomb call...
Seattle, philly, chicago, NYC and more had already taken down these signs with no problem. Not even a 911 call...
They littered... that's it...
yea their littering caused huge problems in Boston...
But how could they have known that Boston was so stupid?
They shouldnt have to take sole responsibility for Boston's completely uncalled for overreaction...
Boston is trying to throw the blame on these 2 kids just so they don't ruin their reputation more.. if there was even any left...
Sure the planes that started 9/11 came from Logan..
Does that mean these 2 kids should go to jail for the next 40 years because the Boston Police didnt know how to detach their own fear from the evidence infront of them?
No.
Boston, cover your own expenses. Lighten the mood from playing the blame game after you realized what an absolutely stupid thing you pulled to more of an "oops! sorry, we had miscommunication with the police dep't who conducted the initial search. However, there was reason for some concern because the part under the lights closely resembles a circuit board. We should also be proud that we disposed of these things in record time after the initial report. We can atleast know that incase something happens like this, for real, we will be able to effictively work as a team to remove the threat without confusion between organizations. I, Mayor Menino, will be working all-night tonite and tommorow night trying to round up enough extra cash from overly-funded state funds in order to pay for the expenses in today's false alarm security threat so that it doesn't hurt any of the tax payers dollars! We will also ask both Turner Broadcasting and Interference Inc. to help with the expenses due to their involvement in today's false alarm."
But no, that would be intelligent.
Its not Bostons style, ya know..?
Should the 2 be punished?
Yep. 1 years probation. max fines for littering.
max fines for littering an electronic device containing hazardous material without paying the appropriate recycling charge for the item(s).
Prison? MY AS*! lol.
Next time i go down the highway and i see one of those signs people make with colored plastic cups they stick in the holes of fences on the sides of bridges that say like "Welcome Home, Dad!"
... Ima call the Boston Police and tell them theres a bunch of pipe bombs spelling out some kind of PRAISE TO ALLAH rant.
That should be good...
Or maybe next time i drive by a beer bottle on the ground ill call the Boston Police and ask them to investigate it for potential "explosives" .. hey maybe ill make sum "PATRUDING WIRES" and connect them to a AAA battery so it looks JUST LIKE a BOMB!
I live a little ways North of Boston and i've been officially embarrased to say that for like the 50th time in the last 4 months...
The pro-life, pro-future liberal lunatics they have running this state...
The overwelmingly embarrassing number of idiots who voted Deval Patrick into office as governer...
And now this...
and those are only the big things i can think of off the top of my head right now...
