Seriously, how did the American public become so incredibly stupid? How does this even remotely resemble a bomb? Additionally, how could you even call the LED Ads "sinister looking"?
What's even funnier is that 1) these have been up for at least two weeks (check out this one a guy found IN BOSTON about two weeks ago), and 2) they were up in nine other cities (like this one in philly), none of those cities had a single 911 call about them, and none of those cities had any semblance of panic. This whole thing got blown way out of proportion by both the media and the Boston authorities, all because someone didn't know what something was so automatically assumed it had to be a bomb. The reasoning for thinking it was a bomb was that "it had wires and batteries". Watch out for your computers, guys! It has wires and lights, it must be a bomb!
Here's the deal, people: a real bomb will be bigger than 1/4" in thickness, will be hidden so no one finds it, won't have LED lights to draw attention to it, and won't have those lights form an outline of a cartoon character giving the finger. Oh yeah, and a real bomb won't wait two or three weeks to detonate.
