A joke?

So are they just harmless pranksters or not? And are they stupid enough to think that they are not in deep poop? No and Yes.

To plant devices around Boston designed to evoke the threat of terror -- the means by which they get the attention that they want -- is to place themselves in a position not far from the intentions of terrorists. Not marketing guerillas. Terrorists.

Accordingly, while they may not be guilty of weapons and explosives charges or conspiracy to commit murder -- standard charges for terrorist, these idiots DO fit the bill for conspiracy to cause terror. If it looks like it, acts like it, has the aroma thereof ... it is "it." No matter that these devices were giving the observer "the finger", no matter that they could not explode, it is the reaction that they reasonably created. Indeed, a terrorist with a sense of humor might decide that it would be appropriate to give the finger to the poor bomb squad member detailed to disarm the device.

They shut I-93 South into the Tip O Neill tunnel. They caused havoc ALL over Boston. Countless people were afraid that the "day" had come. People were caught and late for meetings and appointments all over. Say you had waited months for an appointment with a specialist -- crucial to a diagnosis for a dangerous disease ... and you missed your chance to get appropriate and timely treatment because of marketing for a cartoon.... In tort theory, if you can prove that "but for" the antics of these morons you would have been able to get the treatment you needed, you could sue for wrongful death. What about people in ambulances? Late for a court date which subsequently results in a default? What if, what if?

Turner Broadcasting -- the puppet masters are clearly culpable -- if not liable. The idiots at the NYC marketing firm specializing in these "tactics" are clearly right behind Turner ... but what about these two gomers seen above?

You would have to be extremely stupid to do what they did. Just about brain-dead. And I couldn't give a crap about Mr.Dread's grandma saying that he would never do anything to harm anyone because he was a pacifist ... he DID harm people. All over. And scared the snot out of them. That is the deed, indeed.

Accordingly, they should all, from top to bottom, spend some time at Club Fed. They don't need to go to Gitmo, but it is not acceptable that they should just "skate." They have to pay for their deeds. And it should not be cheap.
