Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the BOMB!
Bomb scare or stupidity scare?
Am I blaming the victim here? I mean, she’s been beaten for four years, told over and over again that “you just wait, you’re gonna get it. And you’re gonna get it bad. I’m not going to tell you when, or where or how, but when you do get it, ooooooh man, you’re so gonna regret it.”
So even if you reach for the ketchup at the table, she flinches and ducks behind the chair, and you’re like “baby, I was just reaching for some ketchup. Chillax.”
Then one day you leave a pocket knife out, and fearing the worst she overreacts.
The woman in question is the city of Boston, the abusive husband in this play is George W. Bush telling everyone for the past four years that the terrrrorists are gonna getcha. I feel like this is what happens when you try to create and environment of fear, telling people to constantly be afraid. They see something like this:

And TOTALLY overreact. But, I’m sorry, you’re fucking stupid if you think that’s a bomb. I’m sorry Boston, you’re a dumb ho, and you shouldn’t be ashamed to admit you made a mistake. Which is why it completely baffles me why you’d arrest the people who put up what was clearly NOT a bomb and look to prosecute them. For what? Your stupidity? An advertising campaign that’s been out for two weeks that someone JUST NOW NOTICED and is in nine other cities who apparently don’t overreact to this kind of shit? It’s just you. It’s all you, it’s all in your head, and no one can help it that you see ghosts when everywhere else people are seeing shadows. Or something.
The thing that kills me is, I want to LIKE Boston. They’re an old city with a storied history. They’re the home of several colleges and universities, and are for the most part regarded as part of, if not the epicenter of, the “East Coast Liberal Elite”. If this happened in, say, Texas, yeah I’d understand and say “Well, that’s Texas for you.” But Boston? I’m so disappointed in you Boston.
