I read the Boston Globe at lunch today, and I'm not too happy about all this hoopla about the Lite Brite Mooninites mistaken for bombs. Probably the thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that the news keeps reporting this as a 'hoax.' A hoax is something done with the INTENT to deceive. If they intended on deceiving people into thinking there were bombs all over, then it would be a hoax, and then all the people running the city of Boston could be justified in called everyone involved 'irresponsible.'
I'm sure there will be more ranting to come when I'm out of work and have more time to think and type about it, and mainly how the thing that scares me is the potential threat to freedom of speech rights.
On the upside of this, I did see a front page today with pictures of the Aqua Teens with the headline "Wad A Joke!"
