Run! It's a...cartoon flipping me off? Apparently, Bostonians are a little skittish these days. Something like nine cities across the country had these little guys put up around town (see below), and Boston was the only one that was sure they were bombs. As if that wasn't enough, the Boston authorities are now pressing charges against the cartoon-ophiles who posted the placard things around town. You'd think the Boston authorities would realize they had overreacted when none of the other cities batted an eye and that Boston would instead just drop everything, laugh nervously, and back away. Apparently that's now how they roll in bean town.

My favorite part was the quote by the mayor or some such official, saying, this is serious -- these things would have been really destructive had they been explosive. Ya think? Puppies would be really destructive if they were explosive, but you don't see me ducking behind trees every time one walks by.

Behold, the end is near
