Arrests Made In Mooninite Plot To Blow Up Boston

i agree completely with this guy. it's completely assinine how they reacted to finding 'wires and a battery'. when i was riding in the elevator this morning i remembered i used to have a lite brite as a kid. Boston, you're a douche.

This entire thing was very funny and wonderful up until the point that freelance artists hired to do an advertising campaign started being arrested. Then, it just became disgusting. There's no other way to say this: the City of Boston had a panic attack over something that was just obviously innocuous and meant in good fun. The 'potential explosives' the Bomb Squad scrambled around the city to blow up were essentially Lite-Brites. This is a fantastically absurd example of how the highly politicized paranoia of September 11th has come at the cost of any degree of common sense, let alone a sense of fun. Peter Berdovsky is in jail right now because politicans have so terrorized their own constituencies that pictures of cartoon characters are now considered genuine terrorist threats.
