Boston pranksters meet the press. The "Chapter 27" boycott chorus. Plus: The Harry Potter help line.
  • Mooninite Invasion

    There was no hoax. There were no pranks. It was an ad campaign, as American as MLB, Mrs. Smith’s Apple Pie, and Chevy SUVs. The Beantown Kops overreacted and now want to shift the blame to save face, but these things were up for weeks, in numerous cities, without incident. Even the brainless Master Shake could see through this idiocy.

    If any real terrorists are paying attention, they must be marvelling at how easy it is to scare the wits out of Americans. This foolishness could be used as a training exercise for creating a diversion.

    And, to stay rigorously on topic, I wore my hair long and messy in the ‘70s. I still would but there is so little of it left.
