Osama Brite. A tribute to the epic stupidity of Boston authorities. Maybe a Lite Brite like this would have been a little more understandable. A remake can be seen at [link]

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino - No, it wasn't a hoax. Yes, it was funny.

I'm sick of people knocking Boston just for this one incident. It was way over exaggerated on the news. I'm from Boston, I knwo it better than most of you.

We knock Boston authorities, not it's people... so chill.

I knock Boston authorities (as you should gather from the name of the piece) solely for their response to this particular incident and nothing else. They deserve it and I believe that joking about this really makes a bigger statement that needs to be made - we can deal with terrorism without being the squeemish, spazztic laughingstock of the World.

There is absolutely no way you can defend what they did. They shut down a city TWO WEEKS after this stuff was put out (so if they had been bombs you'd been screwed - why aren't you angry at that?) and somehow thought people who plant bombs would decorate them with bright lights depicting cartoon characters so everyone would see them.

All the other cities saw them for what they were. In my job, some dumb old redneck saw a bag with cords in them and asked us to call the bomb squad. We saved the day (and tax payer's money) when we looked at it without FauxNews vision and noticed it was a telephone in a bag. When one of your dumber citizens (as every city has 'em) spazzed out, your mayor followed suit and them blamed the artists for his own stupidity.

If you defend stupidity, don't be surprised when people laugh at what must naturally follow.

Thanks!

And then Boston instead of coming out and saying "our bad" they accuse the guys who placed them of creating a hoax device. Yeah, right.

I altered it a bit for a t-shirt and I am much pleased with the results: [link]

Thanks! I hope some of those people check my other stuff. My page in general has received more attention.

To think this only took me two hours after I came up with the idea compared to, say, The City, which took me 6 months.

Always. Every week there are things people need to know that are never to be spoken of... but plenty of time to talk about irrelevant celebrity shit.
