The Boston mayor and AG and even Deval keep calling this advertising campaign, a hoax, a prank, and a stunt.It was none of those things. It was not the intent of anyone to make it appear that they were placing bombs. It wasn't a joke. They were not trying to mimic weapons of any kind.
Somebody panicked and now has some of the scrambled chicken ova on their faces. Collective panic is a motherfucker, huh?
These kids were placing ads (they were working). They were not, contrary to Rep. Ed Markey, "Scaring an entire region, tying up the T and major roadways, and forcing first responders to spend 12 hours chasing down trinkets instead of terrorists...." The first responders did that all themselves.
WTF? The boogie man cometh. I think, indeed, the terrorist are winning. America, fuck yeah!
