It's fucking ignignokt, a Goddamn cartoon character! They were suspicious because it had, GASP, Circuit boards and LEDs! You know, I love putting little flashing lights on all the bombs I make. And now the governor wants to press charges? For what? The incompetence of his police force?
Update:
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said he'll seek to punish those responsible, and indicated that the penalty could be two to five years in prison per count.
After Turner made its announcement, Menino said he was "prepared to take any and all legal action" against the company and its affiliates "for any and all expenses incurred during the response to today's incidents."
Homeland Security Department spokesman Russ Knocke praised Boston authorities for sharing their knowledge quickly with Washington officials and the public.
"Hoaxes are a tremendous burden on local law enforcement and counter-terrorism resources and there's absolutely no place for them in a post-9/11 world," Knocke said.
They are calling this a hoax? That would require INTENTION you imbeciles. No one intended the simple advertisement to be mistaken for a bomb. No one intended for the mayor of boston and the majority of its police force to have only a 5th grade education. Holy fuck, and they want to give someone "two to five years" in prison PER COUNT?! There were 10 Ads in the city. They want to send someone to prison for 20 - 50 years for this? Are they fucking insane? They don't really mention the fact that all these signs were affixed out in the open right where you probably wouldn't put a bomb, but more like where you would put an ad. And that they did this is several other cities and not one other "bomb scare" was called in to the police. Boston is inhabited by fucking chicken Littles.
