The other thread on this subject has become a cartoon fan site thingy, and this one seems to have degenerated into Boston bashing. I guess nobody writing these comments was there today, was held up for hours, had heard about the London raids only hours earlier. Can you imagine the feelings of the poor commuter who saw the brown paper parcel dangling from the overpass, or the schlub who found the cylinder in that popular student hangout in the Tuft's basement?

Re Boston: Ward Churchill called all the people in the WTC towers, "Little Eichmanns" as if they kinda, sorta got what they deserved. Those hapless Bostonians, well, they root for the Red Sox, and elect Kerry and Kennedy. So what if they got mugged by Ted Turner? So what if an entire city was upended by this snarky ad hoax? The movie's coming out on the 23rd...I'm so there!

DU hasn't cornered the market on clueless idiots.

To me the cops look ridiculous posturing about their great arrest. If they had been smarter and shown one of those things to a TV camera first thing this morning, someone could have told them what it was. Instead they blew it up and caused a panic everywhere. They don't need to perpetrate the charade on the marketeer and I hope the public laughs at them until they realize it. Let's see if CNN stands up for their contractor or tries to get off with their lame apology.
