Stupid Human Tricks

"All Your Retards Are Be...On Second Though, You Keep Them"


By now everyone has heard about the Little Ad Campaign that blew up.

BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Two men pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges they created panic by placing "bomblike" electronic light boards displaying a cartoon character with an upraised middle finger throughout Boston.

Assistant Attorney General John Grossman called the light boards "bomblike" devices and said that if they had been explosive they could have damaged transportation infrastructure in the city.

Now, I won't go into how, um, inappropriate shall we say an ad campaign like this is in the post-9/11 world. It's just retarded. No, what I want to talk about is how misguided Assistant Attorney General John Grossman is.

...if they had been explosive they could have damaged transportation infrastructure in the city.

Well, if your sister had balls she'd be your brother, goober. But since she doesn't you can't call her a female impersonator.

The judge was suitably leery of Mr. Grossman's hyperbole

Judge Paul K. Leary told Grossman that, according to law, the suspects must intend to create a panic to be charged with placing hoax devices.

It appears the suspects had no such intent, the judge said, but the question should be discussed in a later hearing.

The question that should be asked by every resident of a city where these Lite-Brite creations went up weeks ago is, after all of the billions and billions of dollars that have been spent on Homeland Security how the hell did people climb all over buildings and bridges in 10 cities and no one notice? That's what should be investigated.

That's what scares the hell out of me.

As much as I enjoy the mooninites, this does bring a little pause to one's lunchtime.

"I hope that he can see this, because I'm doing it as hard as I can..."

Want something really funny? Read the comments left after the NYTimes story.

Everyone is all "lighten up, geeez!" or they're some how convoluting it to make it seem like Bush's fault these guys got caught being idiots.

I don't know....I'm surprised and a little scared that they were able to plant as many of those without being asked any questions. I think they SHOULD get the book thrown at them for this stunt.

Seriously: when I heard the news yesterday afternoon (of what it was), I had decided (for all of 30 seconds) to never again watch Cartoon Network because of these tools.

Oh, you are so in for it, Cullen.

Um, okay, now that I have had a chance to read a little about what this is about, my questions are as follows:

1) What is wrong with it, other than flipping a bird?

2) How, exactly, does a lite brite character make people think it's a bomb?

3) Are the people in Boston just retarded?

Kerry and Kennedy can supply the answer to (3).

I think, aside from littering and poor taste, that they showed a head-scratching lack of sense given the current climate.

But nothing felonious.

Where can I get one of the ones they didn't blow up?
