So two guys have been arrested for posting this little guy in areas around the city to promote Comedy Central's Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Bomb/terrorism scare? Seriously? Here's a quote from the article: "It had a very sinister appearance... It had a battery behind it, [sic] and wires."
The two guys who put the ads up have been charged with placing a hoax device in a way that results in panic (felony), as well as one count of disorderly conduct.
I KNOW! It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Even if you didn't recognize it as a friggin' mooninite, how the HELL could anyone construe it as threatening?

You're giving sanity 14? That's a little generous, don't you think? This country is so paranoid, we think terrorists are hiding under our beds at night. I think arresting those guys is ridiculous. So is the media using the word "hoax." That implies they were actively trying to make people think there were bombs.
the best part was the press conference the two guys gave. They refused to answer any questions that did not have to do with hairstyles of the 60s and 70s. It was GENIUS. I think they are my new idols.

That's hilarious! I missed it - I wonder if it's on YouTube yet?
On a side note, where's the quote from on your signature line?
