Moonites invade Boston
These cute little guys are what caused the national bomb scare in Boston.
The DA has absolutely no sense of humor and is moving to prosecute and jail the people responsible for putting lighted cartoon advertisements around the city.
They had already been displayed for several days in other major cities until somebody got a wild hair up their butt and decided that the advertisment battery pack looked like an Improvised Explosive Device.
If things are getting this bad, the terrorists have already won.

It's peaceful on my street.
So.
Whatever.
Nothing I can do about those monkeys fucking around out there in other places.
And if they come here I'll start shooting back. God is tired of monkeys fucking with him. I just want peace here.
That was the most ridiculous thing I'd heard in just forever. I agree with you, when everything says "terrorist" they've already won.
I'm of two minds on this. First off, in a post-9/11 world, we can't afford to dismiss anything that looks suspicious. But those who say the terrorosts have won when we're afraid of our shadows are right. Second, what a stupid advertising idea in a post-9/11 world. But maybe it wasn't stupid and they were hoping for this kind of knee-jerk reaction, to generate more publicity for the stupid cartoon than it would have gotten from the advertising itself. Fines can be paid, employees bailed out of jail, but the publicity is priceless. And that's sad, when ad people use the public's fear to generate income.
