But they were not really bombs, silly.
Perhaps I should have been more clear. My contention is that they were designed to provoke a police response, that would get Aqua Teen Hunger Force front page positioning.
In that sense, they succeeded spectacularly.
If you feel the need to denigrate the Boston Police Force in order to explain why they were spectacularly successful, have at it. No skin off my nose. I am just saying they achieved what they were designed to achieve.
It took three weeks for that provoked police response, and only occured in one city out of nearly a dozen.
I'd hardly call that succeeding spectacularly if their intent was to create a bomb hoax.
Whoever is in charge of the BPD bomb squad needs to be replaced.
