Somewhere in the giant 'Where's Waldo?' game that the us has created, people are laughing and planning new games to play after seeing the reaction.

I have to give boston credit for standing by their over reaction.
Did anyone else hear the three stooges theme music playing while those guys were talking?

Well, I guess I am not cut out for politics. I think if I were govenor, my statement to the public would have been "Get a grip, people!"

It'd probably get me kicked out of office. (But, oh, it would be FUN! :P )

2-3 weeks!

My cousin in Philly told me about one he saw, he wanted to know how he could climb up and take it. I told him not to bother due to lack of safety and inexperience on his part. I saw from watching the clip that someone did snag one, I wonder if one will wind up one eBay now that this story is getting national coverage.

Looks like they hit San Francisco with those Terrorist Devices. But ah who's going to flinch at new guerrilla art in the street?

Since many of them were placed on private property and not really secured I'm wondering why did they did last so long before some one stole (or claimed owner ship). If it happened at BM, they would be gone in no time.

Officials claim that they looked like a bomb, Respectabilis is right- a mad man terrorist looking to bring down the city. funny it took over a week for people to Fear them. Those terrorist are sick man. And Boston police are slow to react.

I'm sure it will be a new theme on the playa this year.

This should make for a big opening weekend for the film. This should go in the publicists hall of fame.

I'm just glad they did it. Totally in keeping with the humor of the TV show. I've got all the DVD's and my daughters and I laugh ourselves sick on that stuff. I think I'll preview the movie before I bring them, though.

I just realized that their attempt at viral buzz marketing is highly effective... through me! The Aqua Teen Hunger Vessel!

Now if we could only make a bunch of these:

There's a film?

Will someone explain why this show is funny?
I've seen it.
I'm baffled.

Whoa there snottybillis, it fits in perfectly with a campaign of terror to create benign nuisances and other distractions for law enforcement. All you have to do is empty a bottle of bleach inside a mailbox, then paint jihadist slogans on it and you'll get local, federal and media attention, all going away from a more high value target.

Likewise, you could register as a user to a bbs, nail every thread with fake spam and let the mods and admins curse you out while your more insidious russiona and nigerian counterparts launched a real spam attack

So it pays to be vigilant, and have systems in place, and snottyness just tips off your enemies to how self-absorbed you are.

That doesn't really help.
The mostly nonverbal explanations I've had from teenagers pretty much amounted to, "It's food that talks."

It doesn't seem nearly as funny as Mewmew Power.

At least,
until now.

What this really tells us is just how threatened the Boston security agencies and police feel by even the simplest and most inane technology.

SED is funny. That argument can and will eventually be used to ban everything that is different, and in particular confusing, and therefore threatening to at least someone in society!

Look! A glass flowerpot! It might be a bomb!

Stemming from the misspelling of the word "owns", being that the "p" key is right next to the "o" key. It does not mean the possesive "owns", but as in a form of domination, such as in a game or sport.

Dude, he pwns you at Halo.
He pwns all of you at basketball.
I pwn your sister... all night long.
