cartoon characters bring the entire city to it’s knees, and officials bristle at being the laughingstock of the entire nation. it’s gotta sting, really, finding out just how not cool you are in such a public manner. how panicky and given to overreacting you are.
and you’d think the next logical step would be to quietly slink away with your tail between your legs, right? wait for it all to blow over and try to go on with your life and get past the humiliation…right?
not if you’re the fuckin’ city of boston. you’re just gonna be dumber and dumber, and more outlandishly retarded than ever. you’re gonna lash out with misappropriated spite and a sense of utterly retarded self-absorption.
this article just proves how stupid boston really is. in a number of ways. (note: apparently the dudes that facilitated this whole thing for the cartoon network are a bunch of stupid assholes, too. no wonder, they’re from boston)
The new evidence has surfaced amid speculation prosecutors may go easy on felony charges of planting a hoax device and disorderly conduct in return for some community service from the two men who were hired by a marketing firm to plant the cartoon promotional devices.
i find it terribly interesting that you can be charged with a crime you didn’t commit in this city merely by way of semantics. apparently none of the city and law enforcement officials know exactly what the word “hoax” means. and i don’t know you need what, at least a 4th grade reading level to know that?

now, what i don’t understand is how making what is the equivalent of a fucking lite-brite to look like the mooninites from aqua teen hunger force and hanging them around the city could possibly be misconstrued as a fucking hoax. i mean really, boston, are you that fucking stupid?
oh but no…they’re using some legal contrivance as an excuse for why everyone is being a buttfucking RETARD about this whole thing.
From Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 266 Section 102A 1/2:
(b) For the purposes of this section, the term “hoax device” shall mean any device that would cause a person reasonably to believe that such device is an infernal machine. For the purposes of this section, the term “infernal machine” shall mean any device for endangering life or doing unusual damage to property, or both, by fire or explosion, whether or not contrived to ignite or explode automatically. For the purposes of this section, the words “hoax substance” shall mean any substance that would cause a person reasonably to believe that such substance is a harmful chemical or biological agent, a poison, a harmful radioactive substance or any other substance for causing serious bodily injury, endangering life or doing unusual damage to property, or both.
which really means, in short, that the men that manufactured and hung up the MOONINITE LED SIGNS (not “hoax devices”!) only broke the law if it can be determined that a reasonable person would believe they are bombs.
case in point, does this:
look anything like this:
if you’re thomas menino, apparently it fucking does!
no matter that the signs were in nine fucking other cities; and a.) nobody had an issue recognizing what they were and b.) they had been hanging for at least two weeks before anyone even thought to freak out about them. and might i point out that not lit up, you can still fucking see the mooninite faces and images staring at you — apparently in explosive wonder!
seriously…so disgusted with the city right now.
and even more so that the scapegoats dudes that made the signs are #1 on the city’s shit list right now. just because going after an entity like a broadcasting company doesn’t quite give the same satisfaction as going after something smaller and weaker.
pathetic.
even after the fact that turner broadcasting is going to give the city $2M for “damages” and “panic” caused, everyone is still being a complete and utter fucktard over this.
and all i got to say is:
THERE WAS NO FUCKING HOAX!
worst interpretation of “the boy who cried wolf” ever…
fuck you, boston.
