> Ok, most of you out there are probably tired of hearing about it. But what do you think about the advertising stunt that shut down parts of Boston? Personally, I think that someone would have to be kind of dumb to think that a lite brite was a bomb. I also think its a stupid show in the first place. But seriously, what do you think?

I liked the show when it first came on, but from the third season onward, it got dumb.

Having seen the video of what they did, exactly, I am completely at a loss to understand how anyone COULD think it was a bomb. It's no different from any other neon sign you see hanging off a building.

If I were driving through Boston, and I saw it, even without knowing what a Mooninite is, I would think it was pretty cool, but that's about all. I certainly wouldn't think it was a bomb.

As for what Daniel78 said (if you haven't read his post go do so, so this makes sense), if I was a terrorist planning to plant a bomb, I DEFINITELY wouldn't make it bright and glowing and put it some place where it will be noticed and reported by hundreds of intensely STUPID people.

I'd put it in a suitcase or something and leave it under a stairwell or in a closet or something like that.

*sighs* I was talking to one of my friends the other night, and we were talking about how stupid people are the people who breed fastest. Maybe that's the problem with the world. Well, one of the problems of the world, for there are, in the words of Douglas Adams, many.
