An Open Letter re: Boston Bomb Scare
Thursday, February 01, 2007

To Boston.com and other media outlets,

Please stop profiting (everyone should realize news is strictly motivated profit, especially internet news that is monetized) by covering this story any further as you did yesterday by your, and other mass media conglomerates, continued media fear campaign.

It is you who sent the city into a scared frenzy and you who is perpetuating a situation that was not a "hoax" in any way, but a simple marketing campaign misinterpreted as something more sinister by the BPD.

Please, move on and end your coverage of this weak excuse for news.

To The Boston legal system,

Do not charge anyone, especially not the artist, with any form of legal action, as this was a simple error that got blown out of proportion by the scared hypersensitive masses, the media, and the respondents.

To Mumbles Mooninitino,

You do not have to get all fired up and throw around legal accusations for us to respect you and know you are in charge. You should realize this was a case of your justice system reacting to a confused citizens overreaction. You should realize everything they did was necessary, and was also no fault of TBN or the artists involved. Mistakes happen. Go back to your city parking scam you run so well.

To The BPD,

BPD, we all understand you need to take these matters seriously, and you did. But please, do not claim this as a “hoax” in any way. Do not claim “mal intent” in any way. Also, please do not use anyone as a scapegoat. Just come out and say you did your job and covered a purported threat and go back to work. No law suits necessary.

To Boston (the city of),

These last two days have been an extremely sad day for you. I apologize on behalf of all humanity, and your current residents, on our finger pointing, scapegoated, simple minded, fear crazed behavior.

If ever there way a day when “the terrorists won” it was these last two.

As a member of the Dept of Homeland Security and a huge fan of Aqua Teen Hunger force ( I own seasons 1-4 on DVD) I thought this story was classic! I was laughing out loud listening to newscasters talk about the moonites and ATHF. For the record I have personally been involved in a situation in Houston where we shut down the Ship Channel, closed the highway and brought in the bomb squad for a suspicous box found under a bridge. The contents of that box? 1 dead cat! Enjoy!
