Look at the linked pic and at #387.

It'll be hard to prove in a court that the makers intended them to look like bombs.

A hoax Lite-Brite peg toy, maybe.

Intent follows the bullet.

If I were to go into a theater and scream "FIREEEEEEEEE" the extra e's would not excuse my guilt.

Here's a bigger litebrite used by some guys for parties and stuff. I guess it depends on whether or not the litebrite thingys were turned on or not. Here's the link to the litebrite people:

The government will go after them regardless.

They've been made to look like dimwitted, overreacting, paranoid nincompoops. The fact that this was their own doing is irrelevant. They will have blood.

Only an idiot would mistake these for bombs.

The photobucket picture is a clearer picture than on post 387 since it shows what it looks like in daylight and when not lit. I don't know whether it was lit all the time or whether it was unlit during daylight. I could see where someone who wasn't in any way familiar with pokemon (at least I think it's similar to pokemon???) figures could look at the unlit thingie and be nervous. The unlit one has the battery with wire at the bottom right side and what looks like a circuit board on the bottom left side.

So if I saw the unlit one, I might think someone was using a pokemon figure to give us the bird before the thing blew up. Then again, because it reminds me of what I think I remember pokemon looking like, I might just ignore it completely.
