“groovy mother...”

“BUCKY EFFIN’ DENT!”

TC sums up yesterday pretty well: Police did the right thing, politicians, mainstream media *and* bloggers overreacted all over the shop. Favourite line: “Note: If the MBTA were truly Fascist maybe the damn trains would run on time.”

“Don’t Panic! This is NOT A BOMB” Someone needs to print up a thousand or so of these, and plaster Boston and Cambridge with them. For example, I’m sure they’d look good on the CharlieCard payment stations.

Video of the “Boston Ad Prank Suspects” press conference from earlier. They seem to be taking it exactly as seriously as the media really should.

In a news conference, Rich told reporters he had advised his clients not to discuss the incident. Stevens and Berdovsky took the podium and said they were taking questions only about haircuts in the 1970s.

When a reporter accused them of not taking the situation seriously, Stevens responded, “We’re taking it very seriously.” Asked another question about the case, Stevens reiterated they were answering questions only about hair and accused the reporter of not taking him and Berdovsky seriously.

Throwies shut down Boston — I-93 North and big chunks of the MBTA were shut down today due to “suspicious objects that looked like circuit boards, found attached to bridges”. Turns out they were promotional throwies for Adult Swim. Somebody at Time Warner’s about to get fired, I imagine.
