    My wife told me one of them is working on his green card...

    any truth to that? Because if so, then he's really hosed.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    If it is, let him stay, he's a publicity expert, unintended as it was. :D Maybe he could work for the city of Boston in an ad campaign stating they won't freak the eff out over stupid **** ever again.

    Whats even funnier in my eyes is how willing Turner BCing is to pay the $800,000 in costs to the city of Boston for the scare. They received multi-millions worth of advertising for under a million, what more could they want.

    Wouldn't suprise me if in the end it was someone affiliated with Sean and Peter that made the call for the "bombs".

    The video is posted above. My sympathy for them is waning. If I was caught up in something like this I would feel incredibly embarassed. I wouldn't be acting like a jackass and holding a press conference merely to mock the city. At the end of this day it's still a serious issue due to the cost. I don't think that means they should be charged, but now....

    Maybe the next real terrorist will really put something in a Lite-Brite box.

    Maybe the polk club people can predict what will happen next.

    Mooninites
    Inignot: On the moon, the weekend has advanced beyond your wildest dreams. Weekends now take up the entire week, and jobs have been phased out accordingly.
    Err: We get checks from the government. And we use them to buy beer.

    Inignot: You and your third dimension.
    Frylock: What about it?
    Inignot: Oh, nothing, it’s cute. We have five.
    [pause]
    Err: Thousand.
    Inignot: Yes, five thousand.
    Err: Don’t question it.
    Frylock: Oh, yeah? Well, I only see two.
    Inignot: Well, that sounds like a personal problem.

    The campaign also had been staged in nine other big U.S. cities in recent weeks without drawing as much attention.
    Bomb squads were called in and bridges and highways were shut down last Wednesday when authorities found more than three dozen electronic boards depicting a boxy cartoon character giving the finger.
    "Last week's events caused a major disruption in the greater Boston area on many levels," Coakley said, "crippling public transportation, causing serious traffic problems, negatively affecting local businesses and perhaps most significantly, costing Boston and surrounding communities thousands of dollars."


    Do you think that the overreaction to this in Boston made the terrorists realize that for their main objective of disruption they don't need to spend A LOT of money now on real bombs or weapons of mass destruction. They just have to leave some wierd looking items stategically placed and the people in this country will shudder in fear and stop all commerce???

    If this is the case they have won not to mention that their terror has cost a major communications company $2 million.
