Re: IED Discovered On An Overpass In Brownsville
A few years back someone put a home-made battery-powered illuminated sign of a cartoon character named Ignignokt on or under a bridge in Boston. The whole city came to a standstill because somebody thought it was a bomb.C-dub wrote:What?tacticool wrote:Ignignokt

Actually, it wasn't one placard under a bridge, but placards all over the city along with Cambridge and Somerville. It was a movie promotional stunt. Turner Broadcasting paid the bill on that one, some $2 million. Something like 30 of the devices were installed.

There were a bunch in LA and some other major city as well. They just realized that the devices weren't bombs and didn't shut down.Double Naught Spy wrote:Actually, it wasn't one placard under a bridge, but placards all over the city along with Cambridge and Somerville.

Probably left there by a photographer, after photographing the overpass.

In Boston they probably call the flashbulb on his camera an IED.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.
