Bite the "turd" and get over it
Yippee! I've been waiting for something about the brite-lite Boston terror non event, so I can chime in. This Reminds me of the scene in Caddyshack where a kid throws a candy bar into the country club pool. The uptight, elitist windbag (wonderfully played by Ted Knight) freaks and has the pool drained and sanitized by workers in HAZMAT uniforms, thinking the object is a turd. Clueless groundskeeper (Bill Murray) locates said turd, and recognizing it as what it really is, has a big bite. Windbag's wife faints. Ba-dum, ba-dum.
Is this what we've come to? I don't know if it's Bush, OBL, Dept. of Homeland Security or who, but somebody has succeded in turning this nation into a bunch of paranoid pussies. Did you see the footage of the guy from the bomb squad approaching the brite-lite cartoon board? Then they blew it up with a water cannon. Hey sheeple, the world laughs at the mighty USA.
The news channels are on it round the clock, tut-tuting the pranksters, and reminding them and us that this is SERIOUS!
I say Boston should sue the official who authorized the costly overreaction. What the hell is someone like that doing in office in the first place?
