I love how these "suspects" "claim" they were "hired" to place these "ads" for a "TV show" . . . ummm...
Turner Broadcasting did release-wait, did they? yes, yes they did release a statement about this. So that part should be all cleared up.

I don't think it was a total non-statement. I mean, on the subject of haircuts, IE appearance, let's not forget what real terrorists look like:

I don't know about anyone else, but yesterday is the first time I ever seriously even *considered* watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force, so apparently the ad campaign is working nicely.
Making a mockery of something that is already such a huge clusterf*ck? Is that even possible?

Flint: Resist the urge to conflate these two events. Such a response is a national fad right now, but your mother was right about everybody else jumping off a cliff. They're different. Not the same. Not connected. Your picture is prima facie evidence of this. Different haircuts. Different events. Get it straight.

BigV, how stupid do you think I am? Read the sarcasm between the lines.
This column makes it out like a battle of us versus them, and the definition of them is widening every day. Kitsune observed "...there is something about this that makes me think that this is a big statement being put out by the city of Boston that condemns any action that is outside the accepted norm" and I agree. And furthermore, the dreadlocked, non-citizen suspect makes a great scapegoat because he is different from us. Which brings us to the subject of what do "terrorists" (or "suspects" as this story is framed by the media, not me) look like? Or, to over-explain this to the Nth degree: do "terrorists" "look" a certain way? NO! Would you have suspected McVeigh, based on appearance? NO! Get it? It's not a total non-statement to hold a press conference about appearance, IE haircuts in this case.

Flint, I don't think you're stupid. If I did, you'd know it, even if you were stupid.
The overreaction to this "event" is stupid. I'm riffing on your point that "real" terrorists have "real" haircuts, observing that, OBVIOUSLY, since this new guy doesn't have such a haircut, he can't possibly be a real terrorist. Dude. edit--Actually, don't chill. this isn't something that we, any of us should chill about. We should be talking about why this was a big fucking deal for some people yesterday, and why it's a big fucking deal for a completely different set of people today. Seriously. don't chill. Knock yourself out. Be pissed at me, fine. My comments were not directed at you, I think you get it. My comments were directed at the same embarassed frightened terror-ees that panicked in the first place. The discussion needs to be why are we so spooked? It was a nice day yesterday. This was not a plane crashing into a building. No kittens were harmed in the making of the displays. Why have some people surrendered their backbones, their ability to take a punch, their ability to take a joke, and gave away their balls in the bargain. Goddamit! The world will ALWAYS have threats in it, some real, most not. Don't chill, don't panic, but roll with the punches a little, willya? I'm gonna pop a vessel just watching you (all) whip yourself into a perfect froth of chicken little apoplexy. Fuck. gimme that. I'll take two.

Can we all say it together so they can learn "we were wrong".
See, was that so hard? All they had to say. That they did not is silly and means those that did not should have to repay the taxpayers out of their personal salaries for every thing that happened after the moment they knew. Simple. I guess I need a sticker for my wheelchair, "not a bomb idiot, go find a light-bright". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0PgnOZFKiY This one is funny... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G-D0F4Q9yk Last edited by rkzenrage; 02-01-2007 at 05:03 PM. |

Good grief. The fact that these things are nothing more than illuminated signs is *glaringly* obvious. Furthermore, were those *strategic* metal awnings or something? I mean, wouldn't these things have been more effective (if they had been bombs) planted somewhere else?

Plus, they had been up for weeks. What a great bomb strategy, no?

Hey, what happened to this guy? Why aren't the police looking for him? Where's a description of him? Where's the manhunt? Was it really a pipebomb? How come we're not hearing about this?
