Note to terrorists: Put smilie faces on all bombs, and everyone will ignore them.
This is a great promotion, it is certainly getting the message out, and I hope the idiots that did it enjoy their time with Bubba.

I don't think anyone has a problem with them checking out the item. Any suspicious item like this put up in a public place should garner some attention. However, it should have taken no more than a quick glance at it to discover what it was. It was not a ?complex piece of electronics?. It was a fucking LED sign hooked up to a battery pack. There was no need for this to get mass-media attention, none whatsoever. It just goes to show how stupid and paranoid people can be? it doesn?t help that the media can?t wait to jump the gun on every little thing that they can spin towards ?terrorism?.
As for them ?enjoying time with Bubba? I seriously doubt anyone involved will see a day of prison. This was a planned marketing campaign and it had no intentions of being a ?bomb hoax?. Granted, if this wasn?t a business stunt and these were actual individuals behind it they would likely be in prison right now. Businesses can do just about whatever they want
