No. Probably more along the lines of "some crazy bum gotz some trash up there." It would be fun to think it was a bomb, don't get me wrong. But I would seriously have trouble jumping to that conclusion right off the bat. This was the first one found. And its location did not let them get close > enough to really look at it before they "disrupted" it with the water > charge. Well, the "first one found" comment may or may not be true. Have we got any confirmation on the actual dates these things were up? How long has it been, and are you really sure that no one knew about them? The news channels ran with the whole thing, being tipped off by the traffic > troubles, and jumped on the story. Too much coverage, too much speculation > (but not the Police's fault). Well, I wonder if there's enough data to really start gaging fault as yet. I don't like blame, but we do need to improve our communication/response times. In general, mind. Turner knew the whole time that a panic was happening, but did not inform > authorities. Do you have facts on this? Adult Swim claims they alerted the authorities and gave them directions to the other "devices" as soon as it was apparent a panic had been incised (or whatever that word is. Incised may be a tooth of some sort). 2 minutes after the press conference started, and without informing the > parties IN the press conference, Turner released a press release through > CNN, saying it was their ads. > > Finally, they contacted the police, through their lawyers, to let them > know. Why don't you post some links to this stuff? I'm having trouble putting the whole story together. ;-) I think the police handled it right. I think the public did right by > reporting it.

I'm more concerned with the backlash, and it means little who it was that did this. I mean, aren't you the least bit sad at how we instantly go to "bomb!", yet we are like .000001% as far as crap like that goes? I mean, there are folks in places that really have to worry about this shite, day in and out. Yay for Ireland tho, neh!!! Wooters for peace and whatnot. That interview with those dudes was freaking awesome tho. Hells yeah, I'm sick of all the "serious" crap. This is serious. And they're rock'n the stand. Give these twenty second arm chair patriots what they deserve. No "word" here! =] Remember when America was fun? Hmmm? Shit, I long for those days, and sadly, they didn't seem all that special at the time. Go figure. America is still too damn fun for it's own good, but still, ya know? :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:226532 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
