All-Clear Called in Boston, packages deemed a hoax.

[WilliamPitt]

Yep.

Who brought the cool kid?

I'd love a few minutes with the funny guys.

Fuckers.

1. A couple of shots of Herradura will help calm your nerves

I hope they find out who played this hoax, I find it almost as destructive as the real thing since we have to treat every threat, real or hoax, as if it were real

[WilliamPitt]

3. Yep

The funny guys just made sure a few million people will have a nightmare time getting home tonight, cost the taxpayers a shitload of money because of the massive response, and added to the fun terra-terra-terra party we've all been having.

Five minutes. All I ask.

2. Check with the Young Republicans.

[WilliamPitt]

6. Actually

If it's true that one of the packages lit up in a smiley face, I'm thinking MIT. Their pranks are legendary.

[twilight_sailing]

7. True

[BlueManDude]

18. my thoughts exactly

[AndyA]

4. A hoax. Like what we have in the White House right now.

Would a kind Democrat please wake me up when it's all over? This has been a really long nightmare...

[Kingshakabobo]

5. Idiots.

They'll get caught. I'm sure they are on about 50 different cameras.

8. Just goes to show that we have become a nation of chickenshits.

I think it is absolutely hilarious.

Sorry it happened in your town, tho, Will.

[Marrah_G]

11. Chicken shits how exactly?

Because our police took their jobs seriously?

[TomInTib]

20. See my reply #19, below

This is just too easy.

[WilliamPitt]

12. How do you mean?

Re: Chickenshits.

[TomInTib]

19. I mean that a few packages lying around could paralyze part of a major city.

Just think how much damage a National group of pranksters could cause.

I guarantee you that I could take 20 guys and shut down the Super Bowl without causing any damage but economic damage.

Hell, I could take 60 guys and shut down the entire Christmas Season.

Those two events alone would place a serious clamp on our economy.

I have given this a lot of thought - I am not merely spewing, here.

As a Nation, we have become afraid of our own shadow(s).

No emotion is easier to generate than fear. And scared humans are the most easily manipulated of all the animals.

9. Interesting that this would happen the day after Olbermann very publicly

called bullshit on those "terror averted" situations that * cited in the SOTU. I wonder who planted those packages...

[WilliamPitt]

10. If the story of the smiley-face package is true,

I'm betting on those clever kids over at MIT.

[gatorboy]

13. My money's on Edward's house.

Not only is it massive but also electronics savvy.

[WilliamPitt]

14. ...and the pure essence of evil.

:)

Thanks. I needed that.

[hlthe2b]

16. snarf.... now how does Barbaro figure into this?

:rofl:

[Dr.Phool]

15. A Smiley Face? Easy to figure out.

It's a new Wal-Mart advertising campaign!

[WinkyDink]

17. What a surprise. Not.
