PARANOIA THE DESTROYER

This is the most ridiculous thing that I've ever seen. People on the East Coast are getting worked up over flashing light pictures of Aqua Teen Hunger Force cartoon characters. Apparently the entire city of Boston was shut down for a few hours. The D.A.'s are trying to save face by suing for hundred of thousands of dollars. They're prosecuting the artists who were commissioned to place the displays.


Interestingly, I've read that these devices have been placed in ten other U.S. cities without causing much ruckus. I've read on other websites that New York and Washington, D.C., two cities that have actually had terrorist attacks, received the devices without much fanfare. From what I can tell from this side of the world, it is the news media that is fueling the paranoia.

Here's a picture of an officer preparing to shoot the device down with his water cannon.


Listen, America, anytime that you think your problems can be solved and safety can be secured by squirtin' something down with a fire hose, you're probably.... just... afraid.
